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.

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

Pros

"Ability to use different frameworks."
"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 overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"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."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"It can create stress tests very fast, and some features help you do it fast."
"The training for this solution is very good."
"Technical support from SmartBear is commendable."
"The two most valuable features we use are the functional test and the security test."
"The great thing about ReadyAPI is that it has a wide variety of functions. You can test any API that you come across. You are not limited to one type of API. It supports many APIs."
"ReadyAPI is one of the best tools for API testing because they have made a single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and also service actualization."
"I would recommend ReadyAPI to others because it's user-friendly and can handle enterprise-level API testing needs."
 

Cons

"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Improvement of the product could be made by running the dashboard part, it gets stuck sometimes."
"Some stages of its automation is not working correctly and I need to make changes in the code created by Testdroid."
"Advanced functionalities could be improved."
"There are lots of options within the solution, however they are not upfront or user-friendly."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"Better compatibility or more support for the older versions would be helpful."
"They have performance testing also. However, it's not that great."
"The reporting in ReadyAPI could be better. It can become sloppy, sometimes it works and other times it does not."
"Currently, we don't extensively use the performance testing due to license costs. License prices can be a factor in considering which technologies to adopt."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"For each license, they charge the same amount, which is less than $1,000 for each desktop license."
"It costs approximately $200 000 Taiwan Dollars for three years."
"The price of the solution has been fine."
"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."
"We use fixed licenses, and the last time I checked, I want to say it's around $680 per seat per year."
"There are costs in addition to the licensing fee. For example, if you want to add the load testing you would pay more."
"The solution is dynamically priced so you only pay for what you use."
"The thing with ReadyAPI is that you have to buy different licenses for different purposes."
