Hi Guys, I was looking for a tool to test all my webservices whether they are up or down. Sometimes you run your application and you get exception. Later you find out that the abc or def webservice is down by looking into log files. So I want to run that tool before hand to know whether all my webservices consumed by my application is up or down.
which one is better soapUI or soapUI pro?

soapUI Pro would have more features altogether: http://www.soapui.org/comparison.html . At a guess, I'd say you should be fine with the free version though, what you need seems simple enough.

One last question. If a web service is up right now when i tested on soapUI..In the middle of the day if it goes down how would I get to know about that. ANy email setup or do I need to keep checking all the time.

soapUI is for testing of SOAP / REST / RPC - is this WS available, is the web service deployed on it, and maybe some semantics testing to see if it's working correctly. For automated monitoring, you likely want Nagios.

A:
Better to have an automated tool like Nagios checking whether your hosts, web server, web services, web sites, etc, are up and running, and emailing you when they're not. Also it can check your log files for critical errors and email them to you as well so you don't have to worry until something bad happens.
