Cons
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly.""Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu.""The summary reports could be improved.""During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time.""The performance could be a bit better.""The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective.""Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."

    Parasoft SOAtest delivers fully integrated API and web service testing capabilities that automate end-to-end functional API testing. Streamline automated testing with advanced codeless test creation for applications with multiple interfaces (REST & SOAP APIs, microservices, databases, and more).

    SOAtest reduces the risk of security breaches and performance outages by transforming functional testing artifacts into security and load equivalents. Such reuse, along with continuous monitoring of APIs for change, allows faster and more efficient testing.
