The initial setup is quite difficult. I'd rate it one out of ten, with one being the most difficult. If you want to integrate with CI/CD tools, then the configuration needs to be aligned with an existing environment. If we are using a lot of tests, we must configure them appropriately. 

On one project, it took about a month to deploy it. 

We did not need that many team members to set up the solution and maintain it. We had three people to deploy it, including configuration and documentation reporting. We had two people there to manage the maintenance part.

The solution is installed in our system and requires setting up a workspace. There's no deployment process as such, it's just a matter of installing it.

The solution offers a very simple, straightforward setup. You just need to install it and get a license. Once it is up and running, you can directly use all of its functionalities. 

The initial setup was very fast and only took 15 to 20 minutes.

Parasoft SOAtest’s initial setup is easy.

The initial setup was long but it was not complex. There were a lot of things we needed to do that took a long time. As a result, deployment took approximately six months.

It is simple to do the setup starting from installation until usage. It does not require any specific skill (i.e., it is the same as any other tool installation).

Installation is easy and straightforward, as is the initial scenario building. SOAtest gives you the ability to choose how complex you want to build your scenarios.

The simplest level of usage is a full graphical view of requests and responses, storing values in data bank tools for use in later SOAP/REST request and SQL tools.

The more intricate levels consist of scripting in several available languages and really revealing the beauty of SOAtest.

The documentation guides you through several examples and helps enormously with the initial steps of building your test scenarios.

The setup was straightforward. It was very easy to set up a test scenario that consumed assets in our web service layer and to run validation against the results. The tool itself allows for some more complex chaining of components within a test scenario, so familiarizing yourself with the tool enough to get more creative in your test setups can be more complex.

The setup was done by another team of the company and was out of our scope.

It's very easy to set up and doesn't take much time. You don't need installation expertise to set it up.

Very straightforward. The product is delivered as a single installer file and the wizard guides you through the installation process easily. The tutorial in the manual helps new users with creating their first tests. View full review »

The setup was fairly easy. They provide good instructions. The workstation install is a piece of cake and some additional (simple) config is needed, for Git/SVN etc. The license server install can be tricky, but it turned out to be fairly easy compared to the earlier versions.

The setup was very easy. Just a plain installation on Windows and the activation of the license key are required.

With open source, you have to build a lot of plumbing code to get it to work. With SOATest, you can directly focus on the test effort.

BUT, within these open-source frameworks, I did more BDD-oriented testing than seems to be possible with SOATest. So I need to spend more time to find the correct direction within the combined SOATest/Virtualize. Compare this with frameworks like Cucumber or FitNesse and there seems to be more control in organizing the test code.

Easy

It was complex, but that had more to do with our own complex infrastructure than with the product itself. But it took some time to get the setup of the product right.
