"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.""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 product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements.""The performance could be a bit better.""Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings.""UI testing should be more in-depth.""Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test.
