We performed a comparison between ReadyAPI and ReadyAPI Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The great thing about ReadyAPI is that it has a wide variety of functions. You can test any API that you come across. You are not limited to one type of API. It supports many APIs."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"It is the best solution you can get across the globe for API, test automation, and API penetration testing."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"A single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and service actualization."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the ready-to-use assertions and filters which can perform the validation. If we want to filter out any value, the filters are available. Apart from that database integration, if you want to go ahead and perform validation in the database layer it is possible with the ready-to-use feature available. The execution and reporting are rich features."
"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The solution scales well."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
"It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
"To generate a test suite in API, I had to create a separate one each time because otherwise it was just override the test. Each API had to be added separately. I thought I could just have one and then create different methods, but I had to add each API separately to create the test for that. That is an area that could be improved."
"They have performance testing also. However, it's not that great."
"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."
"There are lots of options within the solution, however they are not upfront or user-friendly."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases."
