We performed a comparison between Parasoft SOAtest and Postman based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two API Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."
"They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution has helped us very well in testing endpoint URLs."
"Postman lets you create, manage, and validate a suite of tests. It has several features to help you organize your test suite. You can also automate stuff with a lot of validations and assertions. Postman supports GraphQL, and you can do various kinds of calls."
"Postman is open-source and free to use."
"What is most valuable for me is that we can create and share collections between the team members."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution has a great user interface and collection of features."
"The variables part is good. We can easily define the variables and we don't have to manually do a change every time, it gets automatically updated."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"The tool needs to have a reporting feature."
"Postman is a bit more of a complex tool, making it an area where improvements can be made."
"Testing API is pretty straightforward in Postman, but it falls short when testing web services. For example, when we test web services, there is a visual component that we can import in SoapUI but not in Postman."
"It should be able to check the records and compare them to the regression testing more on the automation side."
"If there is any way to have a record and playback feature through UI, as we do in Selenium and IDEs such as Eclipse, it would be great."
"If they could implement auto-validations and assertions from SoapUI, that would be a very good feature."
"One area that could be better is collection management."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
