Initial method testing and regression testing We have been able to set up regression tests that cover everything we need to monitor. We then set them to run automatically and forget about them. We are notified whether they pass/fail, and have been able to catch issues quickly when changes were…

We use it for API regression tests and API production monitoring It has allowed us to go from no API tests to scheduled, automated tests integrated with PagerDuty in a few months. I was able to do this without having to hire a QA Developer. Existing manual QA testers were able to learn simple…

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"You can run it off the cloud and against different data centers. That's one of the plus points for most people for this product, as opposed to some other solutions."
"It uses JavaScript which is easy."
"We love the fact that we can have our API tests run on a schedule as often as we need. We also take advantage of being able to set up different environment settings so that we can use the same test in our production, integration, and QA environments, easily. The ability to string together a number of API tests for a test suite is very important to us as well."

Room for Improvement

"the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug."
"I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens."
"I would like to see easier integration and display of test results so that the data could be shared via a dashboard within our company. (Some integration is possible, provided you use one of the supported platforms)."

Pricing

"Pricing is fair."
"Having the different plans organized by team size, buckets, and requests per billing period works for our needs. Larger companies may need to take a close look at these elements."
"Runscope pricing is unbeatable"
