|---|---|---|
| Test Automation Specialist -Full Stack at IBM | 3.0 | I use Apica for performance and automation testing, appreciating its ease in recording APIs and enhancing scripts. Although it requires other tools for endurance testing and uses an outdated scripting language, Apica handles complex flows and file uploads efficiently. |
| Senior Systems Engineer at Infosys | 4.0 | I use Apica for automation and continuous monitoring of applications. It offers easy script creation with drag-and-drop options and effective real-time monitoring. However, ZebraTester needs improvement due to its complexity and lack of documentation. |
| Senior Associate Vice President at Wells Fargo | 4.5 | I find Apica valuable for validating content and performing login functionalities in applications, with its ability to record front-end checks. However, it requires a robust ID management system for tasks needing proper human IDs, especially in HR functions. |
| Performance Tester at MetLife | 3.5 | I use Apica for developing UI scripts and API tests. I value the automatic backend handling, easy setup, and results presentation. However, it's not very user-friendly and could improve in request/response details and header correlation. Previously, I used LoadRunner and JMeter. |
| Senior Performance Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I used Apica for performance testing in my last project, appreciating its load generation capabilities and ability to capture requests and responses. However, unlike LoadRunner, it lacks automatic correlation features, making initial scripting somewhat challenging. |
| QA Automation Engineer at Good Work Hub | 3.0 | I used Apica for load testing during a project shift from London to Africa. Despite being newer and less advanced than LoadRunner, its scripting ease and responsive development team made it beneficial, although initially challenging due to its early development stage. |
| Application performance tester at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | I've been using Apica for performance testing, appreciating its user-friendly interface which doesn't require scripting knowledge. However, it's costly and lacks mobile application testing capabilities, focusing only on APIs and applications. |
| Software Associate at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use Apica in my company for performance testing, finding it more feature-rich compared to NeoLoad, JMeter, and LoadRunner, especially for scripting and input files. However, it needs improvement in capturing input file paths. |
