What is ReadyAPI?

ReadyAPI (formerly SoapUI Pro, LoadUI Pro, and ServiceV Pro) is a REST and SOAP API functional testing tool that enables software developers, QA engineers, and manual testers to work together to create, maintain, and execute complex end-to-end API tests in their CI/CD pipelines without needing to code.

Director, SQA in Engineering at Phase Change Software, LLC (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Phase Change is in active development with our AI product, Cobol Colleague. We use ReadyAPI to validate API responses continuously using our CI/CD pipeline, which integrates with Jenkins and Test Rail. We also use the LoadUI Pro capabilities to do quick load testing when necessary, re-using our ReadyAPI (SoapUI Pro) tests. This re-use capability was a large reason we went with ReadyAPI.

Pros

Easy to use JSON path exploration to find the correct element to assert
Easy to re-use SOAPUI Pro tests in the LOADUI feature
Easy to integrate with Jenkins

Cons

Would be very handy to have some "canned" groovy scripts for more complex assertions - we had to create our own
API coverage reports just don't seem to make sense

Return on Investment

Ease of use with this product allowed us to bring new users on quickly and make them productive quickly.
Good user community to find solutions

Mohammed Mitha

CTO (Chief Technical Officer) in Information Technology at CK Services (11-50 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently develop an ERP accounting system that makes use of an API such that third-party systems can integrate with us. Ready API helps us in testing the API from a functional as well as a performance perspective

Pros

Setting up Endpoints
Setting up of assertions to check if endpoints are working correctly
load testing of endpoints

Cons

Ease of use similar to test tools such as test complete
Groovy script completion for users that do not have Groovy knowledge
Easier buildup of endpoints like a built in Swagger Inspector

Return on Investment

Quick detection and fixing of issues
more stable release of products
more confidence in customers using our API

Alternatives Considered

TestComplete, Selenium and Apache JMeter

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ReadyAPI for Functional and Security Testing for our API updates. This allows us to have consistent testing with quick turnarounds per release.

Pros

allows for data driven testing
allows functional tests to be run at a project, test suite, and test case level, making it very flexible
security testing is made quick and easy

Cons

The copy/paste functionality in the requests, results and data source grids has been lost and does slow down work.
The tool is memory heavy and memory usage could be improved.
I have some long calls that "work" but don't respond before the UI times out. These are requests I am using to stuff variables for the subsequent requests. It should be possible to extend the wait time of the tool, as long as the Request is working.

Return on Investment

ReadyAPI allows us to run around 2,000 assertions within 25 minutes, which speeds up our Release Cycle.
ReadyAPI allows us to run tens of thousands of Security Tests on a quarterly cadence, without having to manually create the scenarios.

Pros

Import service definitions for quick discovery
Send requests and inspect responses
Set up test suites/cases

Cons

Code generation is out dated
XML generation can be a bit disorganized at times

Return on Investment

Allows us to test SOAP services in minutes rather than hours
Save and share services and test scenarios

Haroon Akmal

Senior Quality Assurance Engineer in Information Technology at Gyldendal (5001-10,000 employees employees)

Pros

Its drag n drop feature is easy to use.
Data generator in data source is one of the best features of ReadyAPI
Hierarchy of arranging test suites/cases/steps helps a lot in managing the stuff

Cons

Should be able to add test step like REST even when there's no API added in the project.
Its integration with GIT is very annoying, especially when you want to delete uncommitted changes and pull latest.
Sometimes ReadyAPI made some changes of its own. These are also very annoying.

Return on Investment

Frankly speaking, license cost is too high
Saves much time and manual effort for regression
Saves much time when setting up automated suites
