REST Services in soapUI

All REST testing capabilities of soapUI are based on a logical representation known as REST service. We should not confuse this with the term "service" here since it is not a service implementation but a mapping of the RESTful service that is being invoked. We can add as many REST Services as we can in a soapUI project; each represents a particular RESTful service. The REST service model in soapUI can be represented as shown in the following diagram:
