One of the features of ReadyAPI that's worth mentioning is that it allows you to parameterize. I'm working with more than two hundred resources, so I don't have to go and make a small change at each point every time. I have the option to just parameterize in one place for the changes to reflect everywhere.

Another valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it provides a customized environment. In my company, you work in different environments, such as QA, UAT, and LT, so the URLs for every environment are different. In ReadyAPI, you can customize your environment, set it up, then start working on it.

Another feature worth mentioning that's offered in ReadyAPI is automating your test value as the tool allows Groovy scripting. In your test case, you can use a Groovy script that says that in a particular test case, you have ten resources, but you just want to exhibit five and that you don't want to exhibit the remaining five. You can write a small Groovy script that lets you execute just five resources out of the ten resources.

I also like that ReadyAPI allows you to read the data from CFC and Excel. It also allows you to create or customize your data, but that only works at a certain point because every application has its specific data. ReadyAPI cannot generate every data, but when I'm posting and I want to generate a random name, such as a first name, I can do it in ReadyAPI.

The tool also has many different features which I find valuable, including Git integration.

The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the ready-to-use assertions and filters which can perform the validation. If we want to filter out any value, the filters are available. Apart from that database integration, if you want to go ahead and perform validation in the database layer it is possible with the ready-to-use feature available. The execution and reporting are rich features.

The Jenkins plugin integration is good when we are running it in a headless mode.

The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are its robust functionality and collaboration capabilities. It excels in collaborating with tools like Jira, and its reporting capabilities are a game-changer for me. 

The feature that allows you to import an API collection or a project is valuable. It reduces a lot of manual effort to give the endpoint and the parameters, etc. If the development team gives me the collection, I can directly import it into  ReadyAPI and it maps the entire project so that I can start hitting the APIs directly.

The solution offers a wide range of API testing capabilities. 

The built-in Smart Assertion capability allows us to validate API responses quite easily without additional data inputs. You can easily add a table with unlimited rows and columns to pass line input. In contrast, Parasoft SOAtest sometimes requires an Excel document as input. 

Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways such as JUnit, Excel, or Azure. The most surprising thing is the built-in Azure capabilities because Azure uses a different framework. Previously when we worked on Java or Selenium projects, we used Azure as a dependency and imported that utility. Now, we can complete these projects within the solution's built in functionality.

The integration with GitHup and HTML is very good. 

The backward capability ensures scripts developed in very old versions also run on new versions. 

The Excel sheet feature is good. It allows for data-driven testing, basically the testing where I can load an Excel file. This was the most useful since, if we had to create a test suite every time for new data, that would typically be a lot of work to fill in the data. When we did it in the Excel sheet, in each row, we could put the data in each and then just copy and paste and simply change whichever column we wanted to change. This helps us test a lot of data at one particular point in time.

The initial setup is easy.

The solution can scale. 

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. It is a good solution to start with.

ReadyAPI has a cool feature called Smart Assertion. This feature lets you add different values to your response which can be asserted, and you'll be able to modify that. It requires a click of a button and the assertion will get added. 

The assertion which is currently built into the tool would be more than enough in 95% of the scenarios. In less than 5% of the scenarios would you need to write a code to make sure something needs to be really asserted. 

ReadyAPI has been around for a while, it's stable, and it's from a strong brand, SmartBear.

It can create stress tests very fast, and some features help you do it fast. 

It has nice things, like making data-driven testing that is fairly quick and easy to do.

The solution is stable.

Its basic pricing is fair.

It's scalable. 

When you are working in sprints, you need to have continuous feedback. ReadyAPI definitely helps in automating very fast and rapidly. We have less coding, and we can more easily define our assertions. 

We don't use it for full-blown performance testing, but normally if you are doing your functional testing, it gives you the request and response time. Anybody who is doing functional testing can see what the request and response times are and raise a flag based upon their business affiliates, that is, whether it is meeting their affiliates. You can identify this during functional testing.

The two most valuable features we use are the functional test and the security test.

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 API types.

It is very straightforward and easy to design the tests. Also, when we need it, we can extend it with scripting. So, it is easy to use for simple testing, and it is also capable enough for complex testing on large projects.

We had been using Postman, but Postman only has a couple of solutions to automate the API tests, and with ReadyAPI we can do both the API testing and the load testing. I haven't seen any other tool that offers both types of tests in a single tool. This is very helpful for us, and it's one of the main reasons why we chose this service.

We have found the flexibility of ReadyAPI very valuable. For example, messaging queue frameworks like JMS are required when playing with the APIs because we usually work on data migration projects. It gives us leverage to use utility and things we cannot do with other tools. Additionally, it provides DB connectivity and a good coding standard, but it's not a typical coding base. So understanding coding is necessary, and you must also know the tool's capabilities. Hence, it is a blend of both being a professional, tool-based, and language-driven person.

Additionally, no UI is involved when designing a solution for a customer. So we can do the automation using ReadyAPI, DV, file creation or file deletion. Every operation can be done because it provides Groovy's coding platform, which is nothing like Java. If you have a working Java code, remove the class and other steps, like the primary method, and you can easily create the Groovy code, which is the same code written in Java. Then, the pending status can be updated and available. This allows for easy integration with various databases, even MongoDB and code databases can easily be integrated. With the test management tools and JIRA, it is effortless to integrate. Additionally, it is open and easily configurable with the database tools. Hence, it's one of my first choices whenever we do API testing.

The conversion of the testing and the conversion of those APIs into a functional test is a great aspect of the solution. 

It's priced well. When I compared it with the Tosca, Eggplant, or other tools that offer API testing open source, this came out on top. 

This is a scriptless, codeless tool. 

It's easy to implement.

This is a stable product.

We like the basic features. We can add additional features. It is a hybrid kind of tool. Over here, can add our own code, and we can write the assertion with the script. As a programmer, it is a good tool. We can utilize it dynamically if you have programming skills.

It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming. 

The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the drag-and-drop options and the integration with versioning tool solutions, such as Git.

It's easy to learn how to use it.

We like the user interface.

The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools.

They have interfaces with our performance tools, so we were able to leverage all of these integrations and plugins. It is very good from an integrative solution standpoint.

The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the scripting tools and the connectivity to external data sources, such as Excel and PDF files. There are plenty of useful features that are useful, such as automating flexibility and usability. Overall, the solution is easy to use.

This solution is very intuitive. Once you finish your first few testing cases, you can change several parameters and create lots of testing cases. You could use the same testing cases for different purposes such as automation, performance and screen testing.

The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites.

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.

The most valuable feature of this solution is SoapUI Pro. It is very friendly to use with the API.

ReadyAPI is not just a web service launcher, but a tool that can analyze results, for example from a dashboard, for tests that take a long time. You can see if there is a degradation in the service of the management system.

You will not find the coverage provided by ReadyAPI in other tools.

The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client.

ReadyAPI's best features are user-friendliness, smooth integration with Postman, the speed of creating test cases, and integration with customer data.

The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly.

I like that it's easy to automate within our deployment and to have the ability for more data-driven testing. ReadyAPI is also easy to integrate. 

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 feature I find valuable is project management. It allows us to organize our test cases and suits inside the project. It also gives the ability to store the variables in terms of properties so they can be used across test cases and test suits, so they can be placed at the project level or test suit level, or test case level.

ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible.

The training for this solution is very good. The integration with Jenkins is good.

The interface is ok and they have the ability to re-load tests so that you can reuse them.

Overall, the process is simple.

ReadyAPI is one of the best tools for API testing because they have made a single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and also service actualization. We also have virtual work that can be an add-in within ReadyAPI. For integration for CACD, they have something called TestEngine, which can also be an add-on for ReadyAPI. We use Python request library and things like that but if you're a bigger organization with hundreds of APIs, then ReadyAPI is a one-stop solution for complete API testing. If you consider TestComplete and other products for an equivalent outcome, you might get something nearly comparable, butReadyAPI is the outstanding product.

It has the ability to combine it with different CI/CD tools. You can see tests locally and then you can upload them through a type of digital environment and then they will be implemented, executed, built and deployed. That it is really convenient.
