Test Manager at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees

It's an open-source tool and supports a lot of plugins and custom code, which allows integration with other tools like Azure and AWS. Also, the APIs tested with SoapUI can be directly used, avoiding the need to create collections like in Postman. The client-side scripting, if incorporated, would provide a complete solution for performance tests. It can handle user distribution and transaction throughput distribution effectively.

It is really not so hard to install. If we download the latest version from Google or somewhere else, we can install it easily. The license installation is simple, so I don't think it's difficult to install. We have about 30 people that can be involved in a deployment. How long it takes to deploy the product depends on if we have small use cases for execution. In that case, it takes less time. However, for huge bulk data, where we are using bulk data and huge amounts of data, take more time for deployment and execution. We do the executions and deployments on a weekly basis. We get the reporting software and use report portals. If there is anything for us to do when we get the report, we only fix the glitches there. Therefore, there is some ongoing maintenance and tasks to handle once it is set up.

Compared to SoapUI, the ReadyAPI automation is very useful for us because ReadyAPI is the new version of SoapUI. I know that this tool is very helpful for us to find the defects and to run the web services accordingly. We get what we are expecting with the solution. ReadyAPI commissioner has fulfilled all our requirements. I don't believe there are any drawbacks at the moment. ReadyAPI automation can help us validate the functionality of most web services, allowing us to find out the exact number of defects before deployment to the user interface. This will save time during the execution phase before we deploy it to the user interface.

Reviews from Real Users

ReadyAPI Performance is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. It can offer organizations many advantages. Two major advantages are the wealth of features that it makes available to users and the ease with which organizations can deploy it for use.

Kumar G., a software engineer at Birlasoft India Ltd., writes, “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. It also has in-built security. You just need to switch and check the security testing.”

He also writes, “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.”

ReadyAPI Performance was previously known as LoadUI NG Pro.
