PramodChaudharyDarwha - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at tcs
Organizing and sharing reusable API test suites has improved our team’s regression testing
SoapUI is really great for my team because when we are trying to create test cases and the requests that we are going to send to an API, we can create one SoapUI folder which will be XML and this XML is used by SoapUI itself. If we want to share whatever request we are running on my system with another person, we can export the test suite that we are working on and give it to another person. It is shareable through file upload and download. However, we cannot share it through a link or something implemented on the cloud. The best feature of SoapUI is that we can build a suite in SoapUI. When we build a suite, it creates a kind of directory where we can organize our tests in one place, and then we can share it. Another best feature is that we can execute the tests that we want to do on API level in a sequential fashion or in parallel, through synchronous or asynchronous calls. For the feature where we can organize and share test suites, because we have the test suite now, there are many things that we want to check manually. This suite can be shared with a team, and then the suite can be divided into parts or we can divide the work by sharing the suite. We can update the suite and then we can make a final suite that will be useful for next iterations. This has helped us in creating a very efficient test suite and a way to organize our test cases and regression suite.

Automation has delivered strong ROI with AI-driven test prioritization and parallel reporting
The best feature of Worksoft Certify is the automatic report generation. Unlike traditional tools like Selenium or Java-based frameworks where reporting often requires custom coding, Certify handles this natively. We are currently utilizing the 14.5 version, which has modernized these capabilities, though we frequently manage backward compatibility for clients still running on the 12.x version series.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features are the designing of API, Property Transfer feature, and Groovy plugin."
"SoapUI is a pretty simple tool."
"We need to test the APIs as we build them. I use the product for API testing. You can do AWS security in SoapUI. With SoapUI, we can even perform mutual SSL authentication by incorporating certificates into the SoapUI browser. This allows us to send transactions to the backend downstream."
"SoapUI is really great for my team because when we are trying to create test cases and the requests that we are going to send to an API, we can create one SoapUI folder which will be XML and this XML is used by SoapUI itself."
"In our estimation now, we save about 160 hours of manpower every month because we use Certify."
"Worksoft Certify supports multiple interfaces and applications like SAP, Web, or Silverlight Java, and Mainframe. It is easily integrated."
"For my processes, Worksoft makes them faster when creating scripts."
"If you are looking for an easy to implement scalable solution, Worksoft Certify is recommended if it works within your budget."
"One of the bigger value-adds that we had was extracting data from our warning systems to be inputted into our new learning system."
"The ability to work with the data, with recordsets, and plug those into the scripts is very easy and very powerful. We use it extensively."
"One of the biggest advantages for this solution is codeless automation. Because it is codeless, you can train people within a couple of hours."
"With autotesting, we have been able to eliminate duplication of test cases across those four areas. This has helped us knock down our number of test cases. Our test cases are also running more optimally. Therefore, it has very much helped in that sense, so we were able to eliminate a lot of test cases and get out of manual silos by running on autotesting, which is more efficient."
 

Cons

"The product needs to be available as an extension for the Chrome browser."
"There are more advanced API testing tools than SoapUI, and SoapUI could be made better."
"SoapUI is not that scalable."
"The solution should include some plug-ins to share the generated reports over email."
"There was a change to Capture 2.0. In the end, there have been some challenges with the newer version. Therefore, the company testers, the local ones, do not want to use Capture 2.0."
"I know that we did do some automation, what we call "bots," with Worksoft, and it was clunkier than some of the RPA tools that are currently on the market."
"Scripts with a large number of lines have performance issues."
"We have had run ins with some bugs on Business Process Procedure (BPP) and Execution Manager."
"We're really hopeful for the mobile testing in Worksoft Certify going forward."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where certain improvements are required."
"I would like Worksoft Certify to do automation at any layer (the UI layer, API layer, or database layer) and challenge competitors in the RPA industry, like UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"My thoughts on the pricing of Worksoft Certify are that I don't think it is cost-efficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SoapUI is an open-source solution."
"SoapUI is a cheap tool that does not have an expensive license."
"I think they came out with a different type of licensing specifically for testing. Therefore, you don't have to use a more expensive user license, you can use an automation license. So potentially, if we had 100 use cases, we could spin up a 100 different machines, have them all run and be done in five minutes. That would be the goal, but I don't know if that would actually succeed or not."
"The initial upfront cost in terms of licenses, plus all the money that we spent developing tests, has proven it's worth. Now, we can do a regression test suite in ten days as opposed to sixteen weeks."
"On our last big SAP implementation project, we inserted an automation resource into the beginning of the project. Between automating regression processes, data staging, and using our automation to help repair cutover and conversion issues. We saved the project about $1,700,000."
"We saved $1.3 million using Worksoft Certify in 2017."
"The tool is not really good at all because you need to purchase some additional tools."
"We have seen that the initial Worksoft implementation has helped our customers reduce their testing cycle time by 50 percent. With further continuous improvement, we have seen cycle time reduced up to 75 percent. That is the level of productivity achieved using Worksoft Certify."
"It saves us time: approximately 50 percent."
"Saving money and better quality, these are the benefits of Certify."
