"The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."
"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."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and it's quick to deploy."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"The reporting is ready to use and doesn't require any setup."
"Recording and playback of tests were easier with SmartBear TestComplete...It is a scalable solution."
"The database checkpoints detect problems which are difficult for a human resource to find."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"The ability to run a whole suite of tests automatically (which we did overnight)."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"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."
"The UI should be improved."
"ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution."
"SoapUI Pro could improve by having dashboards."
"I find that I'm fighting with the opportunities to order requests."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"At times, identifying or locating an element can be somewhat challenging. However, in a recent test update, they introduced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. This introduction has reduced the challenges to some extent, as we can now utilize OCR if the normal method doesn't work. Nevertheless, there is still significant potential for improvement in TestComplete's ability to identify various object elements. I don't have any specific concerns to mention. I have observed significant improvements in TestComplete over the past few years, especially in its support for highly dynamic object elements used in products like Salesforce Dynamics 365. In earlier versions, there were numerous challenges, but the current version is far superior to its predecessors."
"During the distribution of our regression test cases, the control IDs are not always recognized correctly."
"The solution needs more training manuals or some form of online forum for learning. It needs more documentation."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
"Right now, when you buy the solution, you need to pay for one solution. You receive one set up and you install it and it's just in that one machine. It would be ideal if they could offer one subscription where you can connect to different machines with a group subscription."
"TestComplete gives support to do requests to a SOAP web service but has no support to do HTTP requests on Restful services."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
