Cross-platform testing and faster execution enhance testing efficiency
Don't worry about anything. Just go for it. There will not be an issue, as far as you know what you are buying and how you want to use it. Go for it, the platform is good. I rate the solution eight out of ten due to some areas needing improvement. I rate the overall solution eight out of ten.

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 primary feature that has significantly improved our test execution times is automation."
"It is a scalable solution."
"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."
"Stability-wise, I have not experienced any downtime or other performance issues."
"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."
"The most valuable feature is the real-time testing, which helps you to test your website on more than two thousand combinations of browsers and operating systems."
"It's user-friendly and offers valuable features for testing, making it a reliable tool."
"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."
"ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible."
"Technical support from SmartBear is commendable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the scripting tools and the connectivity to external data sources, such as Excel and PDF files. There are plenty of useful features that are useful, such as automating flexibility and usability. Overall, the solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the drag-and-drop options and the integration with versioning tool solutions, such as Git."
"The dashboards are very good and consolidate all of the tests that you are performing with the client."
"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools."
 

Cons

"LambdaTest needs to have native application testing, which would be a great help to my team."
"I would like to see all of the features available in the freemium plan so that I can test them."
"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."
"Mobile application testing would be helpful for us."
"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."
"It would be nice to have an API for visual regression testing."
"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."
"I didn't like the solution's technical support and how they communicated and tried to fix the issues of customers like me."
"To generate a test suite in API, I had to create a separate one each time because otherwise it was just override the test. Each API had to be added separately. I thought I could just have one and then create different methods, but I had to add each API separately to create the test for that. That is an area that could be improved."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"ReadyAPI could improve by having dynamic validation information."
"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."
"Better compatibility or more support for the older versions would be helpful."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."
"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."
"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
"This is an affordable product."
"The pricing could be made cheaper."
"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."
"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."
"ReadyAPI is moderately priced, with added costs for more plugins."
"The price of the solution has been fine."
"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."
"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 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."
"The thing with ReadyAPI is that you have to buy different licenses for different purposes."
"For each license, they charge the same amount, which is less than $1,000 for each desktop license."
