ReadyAPI Test Primary Use Case

Faiz Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Test Automation Specialist / Lead at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

We have around 30 testers using the tool to write and update scripts for manual and automated testing. ReadyAPI Test is useful for API testing in a complex environment. For example, when we first started using ReadyAPI, our customer had a mainframe system. He wanted to log in to the mainframe system and use the data to request the payload of an API, so we needed to set up an API to get the response. The values from the response should be equal to those in the database.

Once everything is matched, then your test case is passed. In a single test case, you need to invoke a mainframe, API, and DB environment, then generate a custom Excel report. At the time, we had no reporting tool. Using our custom jobs, you can invoke a mainframe environment from ReadyAPI. ReadyAPI gives you a platform to invoke the custom jobs from the tool, so you can write the code. In ReadyAPI, you can write Java code because a Groovy snippet is almost always Java.

Most of our automation is for REST API, and it involves requested response validation, database validation, and some level of UI automation/validation. The UI is done using Selenium, and SoapUI Pro is used for database validation and file-based validation.

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.
