Likelihood to Recommend This is the go to tool for all the web service testing needs. You can do functional testing, regression testing, automate the testing and drive the data from external sources like a Excel spread sheet or an xml document and finally performance testing. It can get better in scenarios where the response is to be compared with UI, with more automation. The license cost needs to be considered when there are many open source tools out there in the market.
Read full review As stated, we do a LOT of API testing, the swaggerhub import makes it easy to add APIs. This is very well-suited, as well as easy management of the steps/cases/suites inside of ReadyAPI. The one thing I do wish ReadyAPI was better suited for is changes to data, we have a lot of test cases in ReadyAPI and if we make a change to how the backend data is structured, one-by-one adjustments need to be made to the steps. Less appropriate, UI testing.
Read full review Pros Organized test suites. Fast and efficient execution of automated testing. Built in Javascript that can be used to run test cases with a repository tool such as HP Quality Center. This will show the test results and allow the QA engineer to pass, fail, or set a test case to N/A. Read full review Ease of use (ability to automatically import API definitions, Jenkins integration for running in the pipeline). Detailed test reports (allow to easily identify weak spots during both functional and performance testing). One platform for all tests (allows to closely couple and reuse existent tests). Read full review Cons As always, this is not a free tool and you have to pay for license. There are many open source tools which can perform similar job with no cost albeit with less functionality and more head work. There is still some more room for improving the automation which can include more UI level components to make life lot easier when comparing the response vs UI. Read full review Needs good documentation Need to improve the performance of the tool Setup is very complex and for such [a] commercial tool, it should easy and straightforward Tool says it supports security testing but in reality, it is not at an extensive level.

Read full review The only reason this isn't a '10' is because of the cost. This product is definitely meant for organizations who are serious about making sure they invest in the full ecosystem of API design, development, maintenance. But there is a significant cost associated with this investment. and because of this cost (and the non-tangible output for executives), it is a difficult line-item to justify in this post-pandemic environment.

Read full review SoapUI allows us to combine multiple tests and adhere to the sequence that they need to run in order to complete successfully. It has an excellent GUI design and the reporting mechanism is also very good. It does consume a lot of memory though during concurrent testing
Read full review Reliability and Availability Soap UI has managed to continuously build on it's solid foundation and keep improving by each release. It is by far the most dependable and accurate testing tool out there of its kind. Available via connecting to VM's created as SoapUI test machines give access to it anytime, anywhere practically.

Read full review Support Rating anytime I had a question, I received feedback the same day from a representative at Parasoft SOAtest.
Read full review To be honest, we didnt had much issues with the support, as there is already plenty of online communities available for help. But if ever there were some minor issues with the membership or the certificates, the tech support was always quick and efficient enough to resolve the issue ASAP
Read full review Implementation Rating Yes, I would like to know if there is any action to have Parasoft SOAtest integrated with Microsoft TFS
Read full review no very easy but lacks documentation
Read full review Alternatives Considered Parasoft SOAtest stands out among all the other tools.
Read full review ReadyAPI provides intuitive GUI capabilities compared to their own open source product. When compared to
Postman , ReadyAPI also supports SOAP based services, which is a saver especially when integrating with legacy or other third party systems.
Read full review Scalability It has an excellent GUI design and the reporting mechanism is also very good. It does consume a lot of memory though during concurrent testing. However, I have read that added monitoring tools have been added, which if so the 7 could possibly go to a 8 or 9.
Read full review Return on Investment It has been of tremendous help as the ONE STOP TOOL to test the APIs end to end. Ease of use is great and their support staff is excellent. They always conduct brown bag sessions for us to learn about new features. Overall it has given us a great ROI considering how fast we can test and deliver to market. Read full review Very quick regression testing, hence having the testing results very soon, even the same day of deployment for same above reason, it can save money for corporation (so no tedious, costly and erroneous manual testings) The test reports are compatible with TestNG, so the corporation can integrate the reports in our Autamation frameworks such as Allure or Jira Zephyr Read full review ScreenShots
