REST is growing increasingly popular in the developer community due to its ease of use and natural approach to information publishing and established standards. Unfortunately (and as a direct consequence), testing of REST services can be a challenge since a formal contract is often missing. This talk will give a short background on REST vs SOAP in this regard and showcase the REST-related testing functionality in soapUI, including the possibility to generate contracts for XML and JSON representations which can be used to validate responses and even measure contract coverage to (hopefully) keep your manager happy.
