A testing platform with a good API for apps, but pricing is complicated
I like that the AI Testbot is a near-zero code application for testing. For this use case, the function is good. The services are robust. Game testing and the API for apps are also good. From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied.

Experience effective testing with flexible licensing alongside pivotal insights on essential improvements
For non-functional testing, I focus on performance and security. For performance and security tests, I used REST API, SoapUI, and JMeter. These tools help us conduct thorough testing across these dimensions. I find ReadyAPI helpful especially in overcoming security issues, as we experienced slowness in the application after merging our JAR files. For instance, if a person wants to access a university database and encounters a timeout error, we learned through ReadyAPI that the issue was due to HTML protocol limits with the payload. We fine-tuned this process to display the expected data effectively. I consider ReadyAPI a cost-effective solution because it covers three verticals without needing to purchase separate tools for security, performance, or functional testing. ReadyAPI is a versatile tool for creating multiple testing frameworks and validating various parameters seamlessly. REST API is the tool I use to test all three types of articles, meaning I validate the APIs I send to my peers or clients for functional testing, and I also perform security testing to ensure the URL and data passed through multiple components adhere to policies and user privileges. This is done through functional security testing using the REST API tool, and for performance, I ensure that applications can be accessed simultaneously by multiple users without hindrance or slowness through thorough performance testing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ability to use different frameworks."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"From the perspective of pricing, licensing, ease of use, integration with other applications, impact complexity, and integration with other tools, we're pretty much very satisfied."
"The feature that I like the most is that you can use different frameworks, whether it's APM or something else, and you don't need to worry about the framework."
"The feature I find valuable is project management, as it allows us to organize our test cases and suites inside the project and store variables as properties so they can be used across test cases and test suites at the project, test suite, or test case level."
"I would say go for it. It is a really great tool. It is a game-changer because you can automate faster and quicker."
"ReadyAPI is one of the best tools to use; it is easy to learn, easy to work with, and the features are very good."
"I haven't seen any other tool that offers both types of tests. This is very helpful for us, and it's one of the main reasons why we chose this service."
"ReadyAPI is a QA testing tool, and we were able to catch many bugs because we could inject various scenarios running through our data-driven testing, which improves the quality of our products."
"ReadyAPI's best features are user-friendliness, smooth integration with Postman, the speed of creating test cases, and integration with customer data."
"My advice is that based on the flexibility of the application, the ease of use, and the price, it's definitely worth it."
"ReadyAPI solves different business problems, and I've seen that, particularly in the education sector where I worked."
 

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"ReadyAPI's customer support isn't that great, particularly their response time."
"The initial setup could be less complex."
"What needs improvement in ReadyAPI is its load testing feature because there was a hiccup when my team performed some load testing on the tool. My team had meetings with the ReadyAPI team and tried to get that issue fixed, but it still hasn't improved. This is a shortcoming of the tool, especially when you compare it with HP LoadRunner."
"One issue I found with ReadyAPI is related to event listeners compared to JMeter or SoapUI. We created an in-house dashboard to display automation runs across projects, which required manual updating of event listeners for new project imports."
"I would say if anything needs to be improved, maybe it's some aspects of the user interface."
"ReadyAPI is not fully integrated with all system ecosystem tests."
"It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
"Advanced functionalities could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"This is a cheap solution when you consider the money that will be saved in testing."
"We use fixed licenses, and the last time I checked, I want to say it's around $680 per seat per year."
"We pay $3,000 annually for a floating license. actually. That allows another person from my company to use it as well. It's a cloud-based license."
"There are costs in addition to the licensing fee. For example, if you want to add the load testing you would pay more."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"The price was around $6,000 for one license, but I don't remember exactly. It is definitely expensive. Our organization was planning on having multiple licenses for this year."
"ReadyAPI is moderately priced, with added costs for more plugins."
"We have approximately 12 licenses in place. There are other solutions that are more expensive than ReadyAPI that have more features, but if the scope of the project is limited to SOAP and REST service, then this is the best option."
