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."Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in."
"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."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"The solution is scalable."
"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Collections."
"It's easy to see different versions of responses."
"We can also submit requests multiple times and it allows us to capture the response each time by using utility scripts."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"The most valuable feature is that JavaScript can be included as tests."
"The user-interface is very good."
"It is simple, easy to use and a good tool."
"It is a stable solution."
"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. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"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."
"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."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"There is no support for the testing of the SOAP APIs."
"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."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."
"Multi-part requests should be handled in the octet-stream."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"An area that needs some improvement would be to allow multiple windows with different collections to be open at the same time."
