We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and ReadyAPI Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"We have had developers produce code later than we wanted to, but we've had some other stuff that was dependent on that. So what we were able to do was virtualize these assets and then go forward with our developer and not have to wait for these additional services to be available."
"Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"It's got probably the greatest amount of features, in terms of different technologies that you can automate and virtualize, out of any of the solutions out there."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
"DevTest is pretty massive. It's hard to tell what different parts of it can be used to do different things. They should modulize it more."
"It is not a stable solution."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"Automation features are not user-friendly."
"It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there."
