SoapUI and its Pro version, ReadyAPI, are widely used tools for integrating, verifying, and testing web services. They are highly scalable and configurable, allowing for custom test script creation and automation of various test activities. Users have found SoapUI useful in validating complex analysis platforms, establishing baselines for customization, and verifying APIs across multiple products with different interfaces like SOAP, REST, AMF, and JDBC.

Yahoo's Technical Account Management team relies on SoapUI to analyze SOAP messages and troubleshoot issues with ad platforms. Developers, integrators, and technical product managers use SoapUI for testing, automation, and support purposes. ReadyAPI is the go-to tool for API testing, making it easy to create and manage tests. It helps in verifying breakages, tracing back problems to ensure correct data returns, validating endpoint functionality, and load testing with specific scenarios using production data.

ReadyAPI supports API testing throughout the digital transformation process from prototyping to deployment. It is also used for API test automation and integration with Jenkins. Moreover, it assists in importing and structuring web services, API mockups, functional testing, security testing, deploying code to the cloud using containers, and integrating with third-party tools like Bamboo. With its comprehensive features for SOAP and REST service testing, ReadyAPI is recommended for a wide range of API testing needs.

Swagger Integration: Many users have praised the ability of SoapUI and ReadyApi to read in endpoints for a restful web service via a Swagger page or definitions file. This feature has been described as extremely helpful, with reviewers appreciating the time-saving aspect of not having to figure things out directly or rely on specs to build their requests. Additionally, the ability to easily update endpoints when they change was seen as a valuable feature.

Groovy Functions: Users have found the addition of groovy functions in SoapUI and ReadyApi to be very useful. They appreciate being able to use a programming language with Java libraries, which provides them with much more flexibility in how they process results and build follow-up requests.

Auto-generation of Test Cases: The auto-generation of test cases in SoapUI Pro has received high praise from users. It gives them a good head start on their testing efforts by building a set of tests that cover at least the happy path scenarios. Users also appreciate the visual guide provided by the test case GUI, which helps them structure their suites and scenarios effectively.

Cons:

  1. Lacking User Interface and Experience: Some users have found SoapUI's user interface to be confusing, old-fashioned, and not user-friendly. They have expressed the need for enhancements in terms of design and usability.
  2. Slow Performance: Several users have experienced slow performance with SoapUI, particularly when loading projects, switching between tabs, and during startup. They have also encountered errors related to insufficient memory, resulting in frustration and delays.
  3. Limited JMS Support and Third-Party Tools Dependency: Users have mentioned that SoapUI relies on an outdated 3rd party program called HermesJMS for JMS interactions. This limitation restricts their ability to run parallel test suites efficiently. Additionally, they have pointed out the limited support for JMS and the need for third-party tools for AMF method discovery.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ReadyAPI is well suited for API assertion testing and lends itself to easily modularizing the functions being asserted. The integrations with Jenkins and TestRail are very easy to use. There is some flexibility in the scenario set up for LOADUI that we like - it's not as robust as some others (e.g. LoadRunner) but it does the job for us.

I am not able to recall using anything which can be compared to ReadyAPI for API testing. ReadyAPI is a must-have tool for mid/large organizations to test their API services across all envs. ReadyAPI is well suited to test all kinds of API types.

The disadvantage of ReadyAPI is that sometimes it's not stable and it crashes and if your changes are not saved, it's all lost. I would love to see a recovery feature added to it. Also, it doesn't have dark mode support which really strains my eyes.

I would recommend ReadyAPI if the organization is ready to fully embrace the ReadyAPI ecosystem. It is the most feature-rich and fully integrated suite of products for API design, testing, and collaboration. But it is opinionated in how it does things, and it really only provides value (for the cost) if you leverage the whole suite.
If you're looking for something lightweight, that can start providing value right away without too much setup, then you may be disappointed with ReadyAPI.

1. GUI automation is not possible.
2. Performance degrades, when steps grows or multiple projects are added in a workspace.
3. Version support, in case someone is using older version, the application stops proper execution. A pop up should be shown with the changes in newer version.
4. Also, updating version sometimes removes our prior many changes.
5. Sometimes even though we save steps etc., the same is not saved and need to redo it.

We use ReadyAPI mainly for the regression test, really easy to check all the endpoints that you need in less time. Also is really easy add new endpoint. Also, we check one a week all the API that we has with just one click, providing the errors with good response and efficiency.

It is well suited in the development phase, when developers can import definitions (SOAP, REST) and work with different APIs. It can also be used to define contracts for API through Swagger / OpenAPI. In the testing phase, it can be integrated in CI / CD pipelines to run test suites for different APIs. Also, when multiple teams work on different APIs which are to be consumed by the other, virtualisation feature in ReadyAPI helps in creating virtualised services through the definitions / contracts created earlier.

Anyone can start with free version. Pro version is well suited [for] automating functional testing and data driven testing and doesn't require scripting knowledge for simple cases. LoadUI Pro is good for load testing but is quite expensive when [there are a] lot of free options are available.

We use ReadyAPI [(formerly SoapUI Pro, LoadUI Pro, & ServiceV Pro)] to test other web services for evaluation and discovery purposes. WSDL and other SOAP services are especially tedious to manually test in other generic HTTP testing tools, especially with large payloads. ReadyAPI lets us skip the needless scaffolding and send requests quickly, so that we can begin development on consuming the services in our projects.

ReadyAPI also allows configurable test cases for WSDLs, which enable integration testing of a service that might otherwise be difficult or tedious.

ReadyAPI can test REST and other simple HTTP requests, but is tedious for one-off testing of these types of APIs.

Pros: Create API tests quickly, even for inexperienced users. Import swagger definition which in turn allows all needed APIs to be covered.

Cons: Reviews are complicated due to xml format, lack of advanced scripting
