CA Application Evaluation.
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
CA Application Test is being used to set up our API manual and automated test suites. This program was also used to set up and manage test data, which is critical for any test automation setup. We also used this tool extensively to develop service virtualization, which allows us to start testing much earlier (Shift Left technique) and reduces test environment downtime. It also aids us in the use of third-party web services.
Pros
- This is an excellent tool for implementing Service virtualization in your own and/or third-party web services. This ensures that our automation and performance test environments are always available and consistent.
- This application also aids in the setup and maintenance of test data, which is an important component of test automation.
Cons
- This tool has a license fee and is not free. Many open-source tools provide free API testing solutions, therefore turning some of this tool's features open-source might be beneficial.
- The tool's load testing component is not integrated and instead relies on the free Blaze meter.
Likelihood to Recommend
Look no farther than this tool if you need an API testing solution that also includes service virtualization. This technology also forces you to move your testing lifecycle to earlier stages of development, which improves the overall SDLC.
