"The most valuable feature has been the assertion as a test step as this has allowed us to increase the scope of testing and validation."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"When we are doing API testing we have found it to be very efficient to receive results. Additionally, you are able to do tests directly from the API."
"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."
"A single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and service actualization."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very scalable solution."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"The solution is easy to use and they have also integrated with Microsoft."
"The solution is very stable; there's nothing in relation to stability to complain about."
"Visual Studio Test Pro is super helpful for my Microsoft app work."

"The most valuable feature of Visual Studio Test Professional is its ease of use."

"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"The solution is made up of multiple tools, and the one additional feature we'd like to have is load testing."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
"It doesn't have connectors to the NoSQL database. This is one of the things where they do not have a very solid strategy today. Other solutions have an in-built mechanism where I can directly and easily connect. An API is more around a user submitting a request on the frontend. It then hits the backend, puts the data, and responds back. If I am hitting MongoDB or NoSQL databases, I do not have ready-made inbuilt solutions in ReadyAPI that can easily help me in automating it faster. In our organization, we deal with NoSQL databases, and therefore, we need Groovy. We just cannot have a connector from ReadyAPI to do that. I have to write Groovy scripts. If you have themes that are predominantly using MongoDB, it leads to more maintenance and support activity because we are introducing more code into our commission. In terms of additional features, it can have cloud support. This is one of the things where we are getting into cloud support. We'll see how it works, but it is one of the doubts that we still have."
"It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
"Version control does not work well."
"The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement."
"The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"I would like to see more integration in the solution."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
"The product must provide more automation."
