Likelihood to Recommend IF you are looking for api testing solution along with service virtualization, then look no further than this tool. This tool also forces you to move your testing lifecycle to much earlier phases of development which helps overall SDLC.
Read full review Same test case scripts can be executed on different mobiles irrespective of operating systems and language it supports. This covers a wide range of devices (Android, iOS, Blackberry etc) on which automated testing can be performed in very less time. The test scripts are written written using keyword-based Script Once Technology. The creation of scripts are easy. It saves time and effort. Repetitive testing on each iteration would be now be less tedious. This would also allow QA to focus on quality. It would expand test case coverage in the application and finally release reliable/robust application. In all, improving the app quality.

Read full review Pros It immensely helps to change your entire testing lifecycle approach and to implement Shift Left approach with the extensive emphasis on testing the api's. This is a great tool to implement Service virtualization for your and/or third-party web services. This will ensure we have 100% environment availability and consistency for automation and performance test environments. This tool also helps you with test data setup and management which is a very crucial piece of test automation. It also helps us to implement performance testing for apis using the Blazemeter.

Many open source tools offer free api testing solution and so making some functionality of this tool as open source would be good Load testing piece is not integrated with in the tool and rather uses Blaze meter which is free. Some integration with UI and api testing will make this tool even more attractive Read full review It has a lot of room for improvements in terms of reporting and integration with other reporting and defect tools. It should have the capability of capturing charts data. It should be able to do some scenarios that only manual testers can do. Like - use of camera and touch ID features. Read full review Alternatives Considered It definitely is among the top leaders in API testing and virtualization along with the Parasoft SOA tool. Many open source API testing libraries such as Rest Assured, Karate and even Postman and SOAP UI are free which is a little bit against CA.
