Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Perforce and others in Functional Testing 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."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are its robust functionality and collaboration capabilities."
"A single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and service actualization."
"The two most valuable features we use are the functional test and the security test."
"The most valuable feature has been the assertion as a test step as this has allowed us to increase the scope of testing and validation."
"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."
"When we are doing API testing we have found it to be very efficient to receive results. Additionally, you are able to do tests directly from the API."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"Many users will consider this solution expensive compared to the layout. It is more expensive than other solutions."
"Version control does not work well."
"In terms of features, I have already raised different change requests on the ReadyAPI side. One of the largest functions I've requested is the validation of the payload for the REST APIs."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"The overall scope of this solution is limited and could be improved."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
"What needs improvement in ReadyAPI is its load testing feature because there was a hiccup when my team performed some load testing on the tool. My team had meetings with the ReadyAPI team and tried to get that issue fixed, but it still hasn't improved. This is a shortcoming of the tool, especially when you compare it with HP LoadRunner."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
