ReadyAPI Performance is an open-source load and quality assurance testing solution whose design allows organizations of all sizes to completely control their load testing process. The tool gives administrators the ability to customize their testing parameters and tests to best meet their needs. Using ReadyAPI Performance, they can also quickly run the tests that they need in order to guarantee the peak performance of their application and various network components.
- One PeerSpot reviewer mentions, “It provides many features. It facilitates load testing, operational volume testing, spike testing for the APIs, and the API is very fast. It stores good reports, as in, improved reports if compared with SoapUI.
- The tool has built-in security. You just need to switch and check the security testing.
- You can use ReadyAPI Performance for monitoring web API calls and for integration testing. It's useful in automating the observation of web API calls and helpful in debugging errors.
- ReadyAPI Performance is based on LoadUI - the world's most downloaded load testing tool. This means that users can be part of a large community of users, allowing them to collaborate, troubleshoot, and chat with other users.
- It’s easy to verify and address business problems using ReadyAPI Performance in conjunction with CI/CD if a breakage occurs. When tests begin failing,you can easily trace back what the problem is connected to and easily verify whether the data returning is correct or incorrect.
- The Java-based ReadyAPI Performance gives users the added flexibility to run on all of the major operating systems (including Linux, Windows, and Mac OS). Users can test their software on a variety of operating systems using ReadyAPI Performance.
- The depth of monitoring capabilities is almost endless. ReadyAPI Performance can monitor web server performance and operating system CPU, RAM, and disk I/O performance. You can also check for database-related performance issues such as full joins, slow queries, and the average lock wait times for Oracle, Microsoft SQL, and MySQL databases.
- Using Groovy Script, which is really easy to learn and understand, users can customize their test script.
- The tool makes API automation easy and efficient.
-
Performance testing, distributing load, and key performance indicators work together seamlessly to help improve the performance of APIs.
-
Even non-programmers can quickly ramp up and write efficient automation tests.
- One PeerSpot reviewer notes, “The initial setup is not very complex. For testers, they have to create their test cases and scenarios within ReadyAPI, and there they simply go for the load testing. It's automatically created.”
- One user comments that after evaluating different tools, he’s found ReadyAPI Performance to be far superior to other API automation tools.
-
Test creation is as easy as drag-and-drop to create numerous scenarios. Interactive execution lets you launch a test scenario, pause or stop when needed, or make changes in real time while the scenario is actually running. This new approach makes the load testing process even more efficient because changes can be made without stopping and restarting scenarios.
- If there are service level agreement (SLA) parameters, they can be set as part of your evaluation to monitor. The flow control capabilities allow multiple test paths, other real life emulation scenarios, and user simulated delays.
-
With seamless integration to the SoapUI product, you can use one tool to test SOAP/WSDL, JDVC POX, REST, Web/HTTPs, and AMF applications or services. The test comparison capabilities within ReadyAPI Performance allow side by side review of information interactively.
- For some users, the greatest benefit to ReadyAPI Performance is the ability to review statistics instantaneously. Key performance statistics are presented in a visual display as they occur without the need to pause and request a report. When you're ready to produce a report, the ReadyAPI Performance reporting engine can provide detailed data or a consolidated summary, depending on your specific needs. Output can be created in Excel, Word, PDF, or XML formats to allow for more flexibility. You can also generate customized reports using the interactive report builder tool. With all of the analysis capabilities of ReadyAPI Performance, every item can be reviewed in as much detail as is required.
- Users like the ability to integrate with other solutions like Selenium, which means they do not necessarily need to buy Test Complete.
- ReadyAPI Performance helps evaluate the quality of your APIs.
- The tool can test users’ ReadyAPI Performance by simulating real-world situations so that when they complete the testing and deploy the API, they’ll get the perfect API build.
- Users can combine programming code and variables. It’s easy to export projects and this tool doesn't require internet connection.
ReadyAPI Performance does have a few drawbacks, however:
- One downside is that the user interface is out of date. Some users comment that It’s complicated, disorganized, and requires a lot of steps for simple requests.
- ReadyAPI Performance is not suitable for web or mobile automation.
