Has reduced manual testing effort with customization options but occasionally crashes during complex executions
One improvement would be to integrate it with modern technologies such as AI, so we can generate test cases by providing the details so that it can generate the structure, and later the person working can modify and enhance it. We can add more customized tools, and reporting can be enhanced. Currently, the reporting part is at a step level, and it does not give details for a particular test case, so improvements in those areas would be beneficial. There are performance issues where the tool crashes sometimes. In particular use cases with numerous steps, it experiences crashes. I have encountered stability and performance issues with it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The toolset is really good, I'm really impressed with it."
"As a test consultant, I have been able to deliver high quality automated testing solutions to our clients using SOAtest in a quick manner."
"It totally gives control to the end user to play with data and deploy the changes directly and that reflects in the application."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"This tooling made us more agile and more ready for continuous integration."
"One key feature of using SOAtest tool is that it provided us early entry in testing cycle without any services."
"The best feature of Parasoft SOAtest is the extension tool where we can write our custom scripts, integrate with different languages, and customize as per our needs, which helps in a very positive way where things are not available beforehand; we can test with service virtualization."
"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."
"The best feature of this solution is the fact that it offers scriptless automation. You don't need to know how to code or program to use it."
"Qualitia is a complete test automation tool where you can configure multiple test cases at once."
"The Qualitia technical support group is the best part of Qualitia."
 

Cons

"Sadly, almost everything needs improving."
"I personally feel that 50% of Parasoft features are provided by SoapUI free of cost."
"The platform can become unstable as the memory usage increases."
"The features of SOAtest used for testing (web) applications on user interface level suffice for very basic web applications, but there are better tools on the market."
"One area that could use improvement is the cryptography capabilities in Parasoft SOAtest. It did not support enough of the protocols or cryptography formats we needed, which led us to create our own solutions."
"I was having trouble with the browser automation on my Mac laptop."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"Licensing and missing import/export functionality was a problem."
"When using team city to run offline packages, Press Keys do not work, thus giving errors."
"The integrations for this solutions could be improved, specifically for Slack."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Parasoft seems to have gotten higher with a projection that wasn't really stipulated for our company. They've done a tremendous job at negotiating those deals."
"I think it would be a great step to decrease the price of the licenses."
"The license price is a little expensive, but it provides a better outcome in terms of the end-to-end automation process."
"We are completed satisfied with Parasoft SOAtest. The ROI is more than 95%."
"From what I understand, Parasoft SOAtest isn't the cheapest option. But it has a lot to offer."
"It is an expensive product, so think carefully about whether it fits your purposes and is the right tool for you."
"The price is around $5,000 USD."
"They do have a confusing licensing structure."
"Pricing is on a higher end but the competition was even more expensive. With this considered, it is a competitive solution."
