Overall Satisfaction with ReadyAPI (formerly SoapUI Pro, LoadUI Pro, & ServiceV Pro)

I use ReadyAPI [(formerly SoapUI Pro, LoadUI Pro, & ServiceV Pro)] to quickly test web services. We consume services from many different vendors, clients, and other business partners. SOAP web services can be very tedious to manually test. ReadyAPI allows us to quickly import service definitions and test requests and uses cases before beginning proper implementation in our projects.
  • Import service definitions for quick discovery
  • Send requests and inspect responses
  • Set up test suites/cases
  • Code generation is out dated
  • XML generation can be a bit disorganized at times
  • Allows us to test SOAP services in minutes rather than hours
  • Save and share services and test scenarios
ReadyAPI vs Postman: ReadyAPI makes testing WSDL, SOAP, etc. much easier and quicker. Postman would require you to manually construct the SOAP envelopes and metadata XML, which is a lot of work for something that is meant to be a quick test.

Do you think ReadyAPI delivers good value for the price?

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.
