ReadyAPI Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When our organization shifted focus to building software in micro-service-style architecture, we needed a good tool to test the APIs. ReadyAPI was a great solution as it makes automation and performance testing very easy. A lot of tools in the market are good for manual testing but not for automated ones.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have non-programmers and manual testers in the team, ReadyAPI is the best fit for API testing and automation. This will make the testing cycles shorter and improve the quality drastically. On the flip side, if your team has developers and test engineers who can write code, there are many open source solutions out there that can provide more or less all the features.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have worked on different API automations like Ready API, Rest Assured, Katalon Studio, Karate etc. And after evaluating different tools we found that ReadyAPI is far superior to other API automation tools. It supports testing for Rest, SOAP, GraphQL, etc. It is a Scriptless API testing tool. Data-driven testing and Security testing are important features of this tool. It also has a feature to measure test coverage. So far Ready API is one of the best API automation tool I have come across in recent times.

Likelihood to Recommend

ReadyAPI is one of the best API automation tools. It is a Scriptless tool and requires very less coding expertise while working with groovy scripts in ReadyAPI. It is well suited for testing Rest, SOAP, GraphQL, etc services. Data-driven testing has been made it very easy with various options such as Excel, Database, JSON, etc. Performance testing is also one of the important features of ReadyAPI. It is not suited for Web or Mobile automation. Also not appropriate for mocking the servers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently develop an ERP accounting system that makes use of an API such that third-party systems can integrate with us. Ready API helps us in testing the API from a functional as well as a performance perspective

<div>For any application that has any type of API and requires automated testing, Ready API is the ideal solution.</div><div>It is critical for API testing. It is not suitable for front end web testing

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ReadyAPI almost daily for API testing and automating our test case suite for future runs. This helps us especially when doing regression testing of many of our components (around 10) and allows us to run the whole suite of +1000 tests in a couple of hours, and this is only for ONE team within the company!

Likelihood to Recommend

As a QA Engineer, creating, automating, and running test cases for APIs involves 70% of my working time. For this, ReadyAPI has been an excellent tool to do my tasks in a dynamic and time-saving way. On the other hand, ReadyAPI has presented many challenges when more than one person wants to work on the same project. For this scenario, the tool is not suitable since it doesn't have the ability to create parallel branches and merge them together after working on a project.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ReadyAPI enables our team to create, manage and run automated functional, security, and performance tests of RESTful, SOAP, Kafka, and other web services within a centralized interface, driving thus the quality of APIs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for test management.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ReadyAPI is my go to tool. We do a lot of API testing, and with ReadyAPI the tests are easy to create and manage. The business problems we are able to address using ReadyAPI in conjunction with our CI/CD we can easily verify if a breakage occurs. When our tests start failing, we can easily trace back what the problem is connected to and easily verify whether the data returning is correct or not.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ReadyAPI for Functional and Security Testing for our API updates. This allows us to have consistent testing with quick turnarounds per release.

Likelihood to Recommend

ReadyAPI manages endpoints and environments very well, allowing the automation to mix several endpoints into the same Test Case. It is much better for automation tests. Postman has a Team Workspace which allows the SME to set up example Requests for the rest of the team and this works better for manual testing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ReadyAPI is used to validate endpoint functionality and for load testing. The main purpose of using the tool is to create specific scenarios that can be mocked by utilizing files with actual production data and then running it against different endpoints to confirm code is providing the correct response

Likelihood to Recommend

Is well suited for: - Validation of single data points - API functionality Is not suited for: - Validation of large amount of data points

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My team is responsible for developing and delivering APIs for various system integration requirements. ReadyAPI suite of solutions makes the process of developing, documenting, and testing steps very easy. We have used the SoapUI aspects for connecting with and validating external on-prem as well as cloud solutions, LoadAPI to test the API load on the system by generating up to 500 mock API calls per minute with the virtual users feature. This is a tool that is integral to our day-to-day operations.

Likelihood to Recommend

We were estimating the system resource requirements during peak times in production but our QA system didn't have the same type of API load. We used LoadAPI to simulate the virtual users and multiple calls per user to create the same API load that was on our production system. This helped better estimate system resources and benchmark the test results.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's amazing software with loads of features readily available for both SOAP and REST services. I'm using ReadyAPI licensed version and I feel it's one place for all soap and rest service testing (including load test). I would strongly recommend this software for anyone [who] needs API testing in their day-to-day work.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best used for SOAP and REST-based services, which includes functional and load tests. This product is not greatly helpful sometimes, where there is event-based testing is required. It would be great if you could integrate event triggering options, pushing messages to JMS or MQ, etc would be an awesome feature.
