Pros

Swagger Integration: Many users have praised the ability of SoapUI and ReadyApi to read in endpoints for a restful web service via a Swagger page or definitions file. This feature has been described as extremely helpful, with reviewers appreciating the time-saving aspect of not having to figure things out directly or rely on specs to build their requests. Additionally, the ability to easily update endpoints when they change was seen as a valuable feature.

Groovy Functions: Users have found the addition of groovy functions in SoapUI and ReadyApi to be very useful. They appreciate being able to use a programming language with Java libraries, which provides them with much more flexibility in how they process results and build follow-up requests.

Auto-generation of Test Cases: The auto-generation of test cases in SoapUI Pro has received high praise from users. It gives them a good head start on their testing efforts by building a set of tests that cover at least the happy path scenarios. Users also appreciate the visual guide provided by the test case GUI, which helps them structure their suites and scenarios effectively.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When our organization shifted focus to building software in micro-service-style architecture, we needed a good tool to test the APIs. ReadyAPI was a great solution as it makes automation and performance testing very easy. A lot of tools in the market are good for manual testing but not for automated ones.

Pros

It makes API automation seamless, easy, and efficient.
Performance testing, distributing load, and key performance indicators are very well put together to help improve the performance of APIs.
Even non-programmers can quickly ramp up and write efficient automation tests.

Cons

Such a good tool and I love it. There are many open-source tools that do the same and are free.
Adding visuals to show chaining or dependent apis will be helpful.
Adding contract testing feature to the toolset will improve the value immensely.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have non-programmers and manual testers in the team, ReadyAPI is the best fit for API testing and automation. This will make the testing cycles shorter and improve the quality drastically. On the flip side, if your team has developers and test engineers who can write code, there are many open source solutions out there that can provide more or less all the features.

ReadyAPI - the first choice for API automation

Rating: 9 out of 10

June 11, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have worked on different API automations like Ready API, Rest Assured, Katalon Studio, Karate etc. And after evaluating different tools we found that ReadyAPI is far superior to other API automation tools. It supports testing for Rest, SOAP, GraphQL, etc. It is a Scriptless API testing tool. Data-driven testing and Security testing are important features of this tool. It also has a feature to measure test coverage. So far Ready API is one of the best API automation tool I have come across in recent times.

Pros

Scriptless
Data driven testing
API Reporting dashboard
Security and Performance testing
Run Test suites in parallel
Property Transfer

Cons

Only supports Groovy script
Licensing cost
Limited options available to generate data using Data source

Likelihood to Recommend

ReadyAPI is one of the best API automation tools. It is a Scriptless tool and requires very less coding expertise while working with groovy scripts in ReadyAPI. It is well suited for testing Rest, SOAP, GraphQL, etc services. Data-driven testing has been made it very easy with various options such as Excel, Database, JSON, etc. Performance testing is also one of the important features of ReadyAPI. It is not suited for Web or Mobile automation. Also not appropriate for mocking the servers

January 13, 2022

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

Likelihood to Recommend

For any application that has any type of API and requires automated testing, Ready API is the ideal solution.

It is critical for API testing. It is not suitable for front end web testing

ReadyAPI - Must have tool for API testing

Rating: 9 out of 10

August 13, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our company, ReadyAPI is mainly used for testing API services.

Our main objective is to test services across many environments, also we need scripts to generate data, etc. That's why we started using ReadyAPI, which has different environment support and is easily changed in one click. ReadyAPI also supports Groovy scripts and WSDL.

ReadyAPI is a great tool to create test steps and their flows also has a nice assertions system.

Pros

Multi Environment Support
Several test cases and its flows management
Scripts support
Complex assertion system
GIT, Jenkins, Docker Support

Cons

Dark Mode
Simple test cases copy paste functionality
Changing several assertions same time

Likelihood to Recommend

I am not able to recall using anything which can be compared to ReadyAPI for API testing. ReadyAPI is a must-have tool for mid/large organizations to test their API services across all envs. ReadyAPI is well suited to test all kinds of API types.

The disadvantage of ReadyAPI is that sometimes it's not stable and it crashes and if your changes are not saved, it's all lost. I would love to see a recovery feature added to it. Also, it doesn't have dark mode support which really strains my eyes.

August 3, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This tool is being used by developers and integrators to develop and test the various kinds of web services available within the IT system that we develop. It is also used to train on the various web services available and provide meaningful examples. The tool is also used to perform regression testing.

Pros

Ability to use test data from previous requests
Quick and easy to discover and connect to service endpoints

Cons

When using Forms within a Test Step, doesn't also keep the values entered

Likelihood to Recommend

[Well suited] as a training tool to discuss with integrators using our web services.

August 3, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were looking for an option for creating our regression suite and ReadyAPI came as a solution for it, our application being API heavy application.
This application is being used across multiple projects for building Regression/Functional Testing suite and load testing as well.

Pros

Easy to use.
Reporting.
Creation of test cases.
Adding validation.
Execution.
Execution on multiple environments with less/no changes.

Cons

More helpful documents.
Use of multiple scripting language (adding code ) for validation.
Performance when steps or projects grows in a workspace.

Likelihood to Recommend

1. GUI automation is not possible.
2. Performance degrades, when steps grows or multiple projects are added in a workspace.
3. Version support, in case someone is using older version, the application stops proper execution. A pop up should be shown with the changes in newer version.
4. Also, updating version sometimes removes our prior many changes.
5. Sometimes even though we save steps etc., the same is not saved and need to redo it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used on several accounts and users. Many use the free version but we have quite a bit of us who use the Pro version. Used for automating functional testing.

Pros

Functional test automation
WYSIWYG interface for data driven testing
Matured product
Can extend functionality with scripting

Cons

Need phone support
More examples of groovy script for advanced users
Decrease load time
Ability to connect to Google Sheets as data source/data sink

Likelihood to Recommend

Anyone can start with free version. Pro version is well suited [for] automating functional testing and data driven testing and doesn't require scripting knowledge for simple cases. LoadUI Pro is good for load testing but is quite expensive when [there are a] lot of free options are available.
