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

"The overall product is awesome for device fragmentation, but not for automation."
"Game testing and the API for apps are good."
"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."
"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."
"Ability to use different frameworks."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible."
"The interface is ok and they have the ability to re-load tests so that you can reuse them."
"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."
"It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"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 would say that it is a very strong tool by itself and I haven't seen any other tool that matches the capabilities from a standalone point of view."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Their pricing structure is complicated and can be improved."
"Lacking capability options that can be directly integrated."
"I would like to see a better dashboard for monitoring in the next release of this solution."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"We stopped using this solution because of issues with scalability. Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"The initial setup could be less complex."
"I would not recommend this product, as there are better products out there."
"Performance and memory management both need to be improved because other solutions use less memory for the same amount of data."
"To generate a test suite in API, I had to create a separate one each time because otherwise it would just override the test."
"ReadyAPI's customer support isn't that great, particularly their response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is complicated. It's in the middle."
"The thing with ReadyAPI is that you have to buy different licenses for different purposes."
"The cost of a license is probably around $1,000 to $2,000. Accounting is done by my leadership. I am more into implementations and making sure all things and processes are taken care of and the frameworks are maintained and managed."
"ReadyAPI is moderately priced, with added costs for more plugins."
"It costs approximately $200 000 Taiwan Dollars for three years."
"We use fixed licenses, and the last time I checked, I want to say it's around $680 per seat per year."
"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."
"There are costs in addition to the licensing fee. For example, if you want to add the load testing you would pay more."
"For each license, they charge the same amount, which is less than $1,000 for each desktop license."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for ReadyAPI?
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.
