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."It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"It has the ability to combine it with different CI/CD tools."
"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."
"I haven't seen any other tool that offers both types of tests. This is very helpful for us, and it's one of the main reasons why we chose this service."
"For anyone who does not have experience with automation, ReadyAPI provides a sense of comfort, especially for testers who find it hard to go directly into coding."
"In TestComplete, I saw a conformed package of a tool that kept everybody in consistency. The team was able to regenerate further tests without having to manipulate more code because the record feature is great."
"It's cross platform automation capabilities specially ranging across web, UNIX (via putty), and other systems."
"The solution is mainly stable."
"The solution has a very nice interface."
"TestComplete fits almost perfectly with a large amount of stacks, such as Delphi, C#, Java and web applications."
"It works very fine. It is fast on almost any machine, and it is also very well organized. I like its object mapping and its capability to find and interact with almost everything that exists on Windows."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."
"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."
"If ReadyAPI had more integration with all of the big tools on the market then this would be very useful."
"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."
"The reporting is not very robust and needs to be improved."
"Lacking flexibility of adding more custom verification for security testing."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"ReadyAPI could improve by having dynamic validation information."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"The code editor, though following eclipse-style, is still a work in progress and gives a very poorly formatted code once viewed via other editing tools."
"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"To bring it up to a 10, I would be looking for the addition of some key functional API testing."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"The pricing is the constraint."
"Right now, the product only supports Windows."
