We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and ReadyAPI Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."We have had developers produce code later than we wanted to, but we've had some other stuff that was dependent on that. So what we were able to do was virtualize these assets and then go forward with our developer and not have to wait for these additional services to be available."
"We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"You can have a lot of different people with different technologies use the tool, without any programming experience at all, all the way up to people who can program. And then, the more technical that you are, the more programming you have, the more you're able to customize the tool."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"The innovation is amazing. CA has continued to add to services that it supports, the transports that it supports, and has built all of the enterprise capabilities into the product as well."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"DevTest is pretty massive. It's hard to tell what different parts of it can be used to do different things. They should modulize it more."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
