We performed a comparison between Parasoft SOAtest and ReadyAPI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have seen a return on investment."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in."
"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."
"I haven't seen any other tool that offers both types of tests. This is very helpful for us, and it's one of the main reasons why we chose this service."
"ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools."
"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."
"It is the best solution you can get across the globe for API, test automation, and API penetration testing."
"The feature that allows you to import an API collection or a project is valuable."
"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"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."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"To generate a test suite in API, I had to create a separate one each time because otherwise it was just override the test. Each API had to be added separately. I thought I could just have one and then create different methods, but I had to add each API separately to create the test for that. That is an area that could be improved."
"I don't like how they don't have a clear way to manage tests between multiple projects."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"The Property Transfer capability could be more user friendly because it is a bit difficult to understand."
"They have performance testing also. However, it's not that great."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"The reporting in ReadyAPI could be better. It can become sloppy, sometimes it works and other times it does not."
