"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."
"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Postman is scalability. We can scale the collection and for the multiple repositories of the collections."
"With Postman you can do automation. Automation has increased efficiency by more than 30% or 40%. Because the speed has increased, it's also possible for us to do in-sprint automation testing."
"The environment variables are a valuable feature because I can easily switch them and see all the developments in different cycles and stages."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"The solution provides visibility for PDF reports without needing to install plugins."
"The most valuable feature of Postman is the large libraries."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"Postman uses the DRY framework of JavaScript and that framework is easy and a good way to put assertions on responses."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective."
"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."
"Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"Integration of the solution towards Bitbucket, BitHub, and CI pipelines is difficult."
"We'd like to see some better UI in newer versions."
"I have display issues in my Windows that need to be fixed."
"I have recently noticed that, for some reason, I am not able to import collections in JSON. It is weird because I was able to do it before. When you create a new collection and documentation, in tests, you usually have to click Save. If you don't click Save, your collections don't sync with other devices, which is something I don't like. It is not clear for the users in a shared workspace, and I usually forget to click Save and end up losing all the collections that I created. I create a lot of routes, and clicking Save all the time isn't efficient. Instead of clicking Save all the time, there should be an option to save everything in one go."
"Version management could be simplified."
"The solution can be improved by providing detailed error logs including the line the error took place to make it easier to correct."
