    It is very good for testers who have little coding experience but are willing to learn. It is very good for regression testing and really helps us identify issues that could have been a detriment to our end users. It is also great to keep track of the performance of pages across time.

    Pros
    Broadcom
    • It immensely helps to change your entire testing lifecycle approach and to implement Shift Left approach with the extensive emphasis on testing the api's.

    • This tool also helps you with test data setup and management which is a very crucial piece of test automation.
    • It also helps us to implement performance testing for apis using the Blazemeter.

    Cons
    Broadcom
    • This tool comes with a license cost and not free. Many open source tools offer free api testing solution and so making some functionality of this tool as open source would be good
    • Load testing piece is not integrated with in the tool and rather uses Blaze meter which is free.
    • Some integration with UI and api testing will make this tool even more attractive

    • Client start-up time is a bit slow. Application is a bit sluggish, when there is a lot of tests open.
    • Automated scheduling environment is a bit challenging to maintain.

    It definitely is among the top leaders in API testing and virtualization along with the Parasoft SOA tool. Many open source API testing libraries such as Rest Assured, Karate and even Postman and SOAP UI are free which is a little bit against CA.

    Test Studios had a smaller foot print and allowed us to ease into deploying it in the company. The online help was a great benefit to getting started and the evaluation period allowed us to fully run though the product before purchasing it. Cost difference between the products was a big decision factor as well for the type of deployment we were looking for.
