ReadyAPI - An easy to use tool with lots of built in functionality.
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.
Pros
- Test Suite Management
- Test Step Updates
- Import APIs from swaggerhub
Cons
- Would love to see some built in groovy scripts for easy addition and editing
- The documentation can be lacking, ex: Wildcards and how to implement, as well as groovy scripts
- Love the dark theme, but wish I could pick colors, as some of the functions are hard to read
Return on Investment
- Easy to add tests = more coverage
- Love the ability to run whole suites at a time, and easily see what failed.
- Integration with Jenkins is fantastic, our CI/CD runs and triggers emails when things are different/failing
Usability
Other Software Used
