Overall Satisfaction with CA Application Delivery Analysis

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.
  • In our group, this instrument produced a high return on investment. We saw a considerable reduction in downtime in our test environments thanks to service virtualization.
  • In addition, service virtualization reduces the expenses of interacting with third-party services, which is common in low-cost contexts.
Along with the Parasoft SOA tool, it is unquestionably among the top leaders in API testing and virtualization. Many open-source API testing libraries are free, including Rest Assured, Karate, and even Postman and SOAP UI, which goes against CA.
