Find out in this report how the two Functional Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When we are doing API testing we have found it to be very efficient to receive results. Additionally, you are able to do tests directly from the API."
"It has the ability to combine it with different CI/CD tools."
"I haven't seen any other tool that offers both types of tests. This is very helpful for us, and it's one of the main reasons why we chose this service."
"The most valuable features are the integration with Jira and the test management tools."
"Reporting is more robust than other products because test reports can be exported in multiple ways."
"The most valuable feature of ReadyAPI is that it is user-friendly."
"It's great for those that don't have as much exposure to programming."
"It can create stress tests very fast, and some features help you do it fast."
"The solution is easy to use and they have also integrated with Microsoft."
"Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market."
"The product is good to create big or small projects fastly. It is one of the leaders in the area."
"The debugging feature is valuable."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"What I like most about Visual Studio Test Professional is the way people publish templates and publish integration."
"It is very easy to use. You can handle a lot of things together at once in one package, which is a good point for us."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"The performance in some cases needs improvement. Sometimes it requires too many resources."
"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"Sometimes, if I changed something in ReadyAPI, it would not quickly pick up the change. It used to give me the same error repeatedly, and when I closed the application completely and restarted it, it would pick up that change."
"The UI should be flexible. Currently, the UI isn't."
"The solution is made up of multiple tools, and the one additional feature we'd like to have is load testing."
"In terms of features, I have already raised different change requests on the ReadyAPI side. One of the largest functions I've requested is the validation of the payload for the REST APIs."
"There are lots of options within the solution, however they are not upfront or user-friendly."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable."
"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."
"The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us."
"The data flow can be improved."
