Featured Runscope reviews

Director of Engineering at a consultancy with 1-10 employees

I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens. Another thing I have found is that the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug. Finally, other than the Runscope documentation, I haven't seen too much elsewhere. I haven't seen a user community.

Navigation can be a little tricky when changing run environments and switching between test run results and editing the tests. It would be nice if you could switch the environment for all tests in a Bucket to run, rather than having to change each test environment. I would also like to see easier integration and display of test results so that the data can be shared via a dashboard within our company. (Some integration is possible, provided you use one of the supported platforms).

Pre-request Scripts and Post-response Scripts are very handy. Instead of adding a bulk of assertions to those associated test cases one by one, I can easily just write scripts, then copy and paste them into my test cases. This really saves me a lot of time on debugging and revising.

Valuable Features

"You can run it off the cloud and against different data centers. That's one of the plus points for most people for this product, as opposed to some other solutions."
"It uses JavaScript which is easy."
"We love the fact that we can have our API tests run on a schedule as often as we need. We also take advantage of being able to set up different environment settings so that we can use the same test in our production, integration, and QA environments, easily. The ability to string together a number of API tests for a test suite is very important to us as well."

Room for Improvement

"the built-in editor for the scripts can be improved a lot. Instead of making such a basic editor, maybe include a little more so it is easier to look at things and debug."

Pricing
