We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and ReadyAPI Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"We have been using it extensively for the shift left process and testing. It helps us to accelerate and virtualize services and assets that we don't have. It enables to test faster."
"The most valuable feature is that it supports so many protocols. We, being a large bank, have almost all the protocols, and it supports all of them, so that's one good thing."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"It's got probably the greatest amount of features, in terms of different technologies that you can automate and virtualize, out of any of the solutions out there."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"I really want to see more of the "express" kind of model, where you get a little bit for free. I'd love to be able to see you be able to edit and author tests without having to be connected to a licensed server. And then, if you want to go and execute tests, then you go and connect to the server... I think it would unblock people to be able to do a lot more work from home or from remote places, where they can't really connect to the server."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"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."
"There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."
"Grouping of the cases is not possible in SoapUI, to my knowledge. When working with critical cases or the, we were not able to group them properly. We can definitely create a suite and add them there, but within a whole suite, we have to identify them, which was not easy."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"The UI should be improved."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
