    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.

    Best suited where frontend developments are in React and where BDD and TDD test frameworks are to be used. Its syntax is very easy to write and understand. Even the non-programmer can do the initial setup. Not suited when the language you are using is other than Javascript(or Typescript).

    Pros
    SmartBear
    • 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).

    Cons
    SmartBear
    • 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.

    • wdio.conf can contain too much where everything is encapsulated there, like the before and after functions
    • A data provider-like testing would be useful. The only way to input different data into the same test is via a loop
    • everything is needed to be done using the 'browser' object. Can be limiting where you don't have access to the browser depending on where you are in the code

    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.

    Usability
    SmartBear
    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

    Reliability and Availability
    SmartBear
    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.

    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

    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.

    Other tools we selected don't work in our application, it does or doesn't support multiple frames or need more tweaking just to make it works. When testing out WebdriverIO it just works as expected, no need to do such walk around to make it works multiple frames. It also can handle multiple tabs and windows.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    SmartBear
    • 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

    • It helped in cross browser testing
    • It helped in automating multiple browsers at a time.
    • Code coverage is optimum as this supports Javascript(Typescript)
