Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"It is good for API testing. It is also good for continuous integration testing. You can connect it to Jenkins."
"It supports multiple easy-to-learn languages."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is that everything can be managed from one platform."
"This is a product that is well ahead of its immediate competition in features and functionality."
"The ability to build all libraries with codes and use them in many situations has been most valuable."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"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."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The tool’s scalability is very good."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"The solution scales well."
"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 price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"They need to work on documentation to make it more centralized and easier to find what you are looking for."
"The Object Spy is rather frustrating to work with, so I tend not to use it."
"The price of Katalon Studio is an area of concern where improvement is required."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"What it lacks is the Selenium Grid capabilities."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"The UI should be improved."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"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."
