Automated testing of backend functionality, such as SOAP and REST endpoints, is normally quite cost effective. Backend interfaces tend to be fairly stable, so the corresponding tests will also require less maintenance effort than GUI tests, for instance.
The tests can also be fairly easy to write with tools such as SoapUI, which can be used to write and execute tests. These tests can also be run from the command line and with Maven, which is great for CI on a build server.
The SoapUI is a good example of a tool that appeals to several different roles. Testers who build test cases get a fairly well-structured environment for writing tests and running them interactively. Tests can be built incrementally.
