# Run SoapUI as a Functional Test in AIQ

## Recommended guidance

Run SoapUI as a functional test in AIQ when existing SoapUI projects still provide required validation. Keep the integration controlled and consider migration to Service Suite for new API coverage.

## Before execution

- Confirm the SoapUI project file, version, dependencies, endpoint, environment, and credentials.
- Use secure placeholders or approved secret storage for sensitive values.
- Validate network, proxy, certificate, and firewall access.
- Define expected assertions, return codes, and artifacts.

## Review workflow

1. Run the SoapUI test independently before AIQ execution.
2. Run a small AIQ wrapper and confirm output handling.
3. Review logs and generated reports for the first meaningful failure.
4. Document legacy dependency and replacement options if applicable.
