ReadyAPI Test Reviews

An automation tool not only always has the purpose of redefining the APIs after their functional or performance testing, but also provides an easier execution platform for the APIs so that they can be easily consumed by the future developers who are yet to work on them.

It did help us to achieve timely testing of our APIs and the right reasons to enhance their functionality or performance.

I've majorly worked on SoapUI Pro, LoadUI and Service Pro and found all of them equally useful and very easy to understand tools.

The tools that are stated by SmartBear speaks for itself, but when it comes to improvements, there could be a release which only aims for the development of beginners in terms of understanding the tools that are laid by SmartBear.

We primarily use the solution for automatic testing and API testing.

The solution is extremely flexible.

The API speed is quite good.

The solution offers excellent integration capabilities.

Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better.

The load testing performance needs to be adjusted. It could work much more effectively, in my opinion.

They should work on the pricing of the solution. Right now, we find it to be overly expensive.

I've been using the solution for five years at this point.

The stability isn't actually that great, especially in relation to libraries.

We've been satisfied with the scalability. It's able to expand if we need it to. We're considering increasing our usage as well, so we're looking forward to its capabilities in that respect.

The technical support that we get with the solution is quite good. We've been satisfied with it so far.

The pricing of the solution is quite high. Those who want to use the solution should just be aware that it does come with a bigger price tag.

We're just a customer. We don't have a special relationship with the company in any way.

The solution is quite good. I'd rate it overall an eight on a scale of ten.

I'd recommended it. One of the main things that's great is the excellent integration into the DevOps tool-chain and the reuse of code between SoapUI and LoadUI. 

The most valuable feature is the ease of project and test suite set up. A few clicks and imports and your project is set up.

We test services with SoapUI almost exclusively.

I cannot attest to the Ready Pro version, as I'm not really a fan of that version even though I am sure it offers a lot. I downgraded from that version after I installed it. I liked the earlier versions for what I do in the tool.

It would be nice to have an easier way to determine operation in the test case itself.

I've used it since 2012.

There were no issues with the deployment.

It has met and handled everything I have had to test with ease.

Very high. Whenever I have had to use the website for assistance I have found the answer there without having to call in.

I have not used anything like this tool. Eclipse does a lot that I need but SoapUI does as well.

I don’t recall, but I do remember it was fairly simple. Install and add the license and I was good to go.

We did our implementation in-house.

Great tool. Makes API testing super easy to set up and use.

We are using SoapUI Pro as an API testing tool. We do API building, testing, and tracking.

SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards.

I have been using SoapUI Pro for approximately two years.

The stability of SoapUI Pro is good.

We have not had a problem with the scalability of SoapUI Pro.

We have approximately six people using this solution. We will increase usage in the future.

The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward and it takes less than 30 minutes.

We did the implementation in-house of SoapUI Pro. We have one person that is assigned to SoapUI Pro for maintenance and support.

SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate SoapUI Pro an eight out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for API testing.

The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others. Also, it has direct access support, which doesn't have any competition.

The automation needs improvement. 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. That is the main section that we use and it needs to improve a lot.

They could include extra trial sessions with the extended license for critical types because they have trial versions that are provided for one month. For corporate companies, it is not enough time to explore and access it and give feedback on whether they are proceeding with it or not. They should include a trial session for at least three months. That would be very good.

In the next release, I would like integration with other tools to support software development, for example, Go! Zilla for defect management, so that I am able to test it, connect it, and trace it back to my requirement and log my defects seamlessly. 

I would like seamless connectivity with other software development tools.

We have been using this solution for a long time now, about four years.

This solution is very stable. We have not had any downtime whatsoever in the last few years that we have been using it.

Since we have been using SoapUI Pro, we have not required technical support because it is an easy-to-use tool. 

There is a lot of support online and it is quite simple and direct.

The initial setup was simple and straightforward. It took a short time to deploy.

The cost is not that bad.

I would recommend this solution. You should proceed and know that communication is very easy to use, and it's user-friendly. 

There is a lot of support online.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

In my personal experience, Soap UI NG Pro added a lot of value to our product. We have been able to automatize a lot of manual work in a really easy way. 

I was given the task to search for a tool to implement the automation for the first time in the project, so, I've been testing many tools. However, the main features that convinced the client in the demo to choose Soap UI NG Pro was the possibility to run in such a fast way too many test cases simultaneously, SQL injection, and being able to save the tests as a WAR file.

It save us a lot of time that before was wasted in manual testing. For example, we used to test OData Protocol queries, so we needed to compare the XML in the HTTP response with the data retrieved in the database. As it was a lot of information, each tester needed to pay attention to all this data in both places. With Soap UI NG Pro, this comparison just took a few seconds. That was really amazing.

I have not been able to use this tool a lot of time, so I don't consider myself in a position to say what can really be improved. However, I would like to see some IDE plugins for Soap UI NG Pro. I don't know if you have it already implemented but, for example, an Eclipse Plugin would be great.

I would say that if you are in any doubt, they can really count on the customer support team, they answer really fast and their answers are really helpful. Sometimes, they can guide you through documentation that you wouldn't reach for yourself and all the information they passed me, at least, it was updated, complete and easy to understand. So, this is really helpful when it comes to implement a new tool.

The most valuable features are:

• Test validation on API responses.
• Mock services to test parts of the application.

Mock services are valuable as we can start testing the interaction of an application with another application without having the other application fully available. It might be the second application is not live yet. We substitute the second application with a mock service (a type of a stub).

It has helped us by integrating the tests in the nightly build format. Thus, the tests are performed automatically in each new software version.

The licenses could be more flexible with regards to floating licenses.

In the case that a user changes a workstation, then the license locked to a certain workstation cannot be easily changed to another workstation. It would be more flexible if a license could be linked with the user personally.

Compared to i.e., Telerik Test Studio, you have a license that is connected with your email and password. So if a user changes machine he can release the license on the old machine, go to the new machine, and hook in the license there with his email and password, and he is up and running again.

With SmartBear, you have to contact the company to tell them that you have changed machine, etc.

I have used this solution for five years.

There were no big stability issues, there were some issues in regards to the correct saving of projects. You should save often!

There were no scalability issues experienced.

I would give the technical support a seven out of 10 rating.

The setup was straightforward.

This product is quite useful for us. It could be even more useful if we had explored other functionalities (security, load tests) as well.

We were using this solution for unit testing.

The interface is user-friendly.

The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user.

It would be better if the price of this solution was lowered.

We used SoapUI Pro for about two months. The last time we used it was six months ago.

We were in contact with technical support and they were useful. We are satisfied with the support.

I recommend this solution and my advice is to try it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
