SOAP Monitor

STC does not include a SOAP monitor tool with ImmuCast. However, open source testing tools are available for download on various websites. One such tool is SmartBear's SoapUI, which offers a free and open-source cross-platform functional testing solution. This is not provided by STC, but is available for download at https://www.soapui.org/.

  1. Download and install the correct version of SoapUI for your environment from https://www.soapui.org/.
  2. Start the application. The start page can be closed.
