ReadyAPI Test Reviews

In my personal experience, Soap UI NG Pro added a lot of value to our product. We have been able to automatize a lot of manual work in a really easy way. 

I was given the task to search for a tool to implement the automation for the first time in the project, so, I've been testing many tools. However, the main features that convinced the client in the demo to choose Soap UI NG Pro was the possibility to run in such a fast way too many test cases simultaneously, SQL injection, and being able to save the tests as a WAR file.

It save us a lot of time that before was wasted in manual testing. For example, we used to test OData Protocol queries, so we needed to compare the XML in the HTTP response with the data retrieved in the database. As it was a lot of information, each tester needed to pay attention to all this data in both places. With Soap UI NG Pro, this comparison just took a few seconds. That was really amazing.

I have not been able to use this tool a lot of time, so I don't consider myself in a position to say what can really be improved. However, I would like to see some IDE plugins for Soap UI NG Pro. I don't know if you have it already implemented but, for example, an Eclipse Plugin would be great.

I would say that if you are in any doubt, they can really count on the customer support team, they answer really fast and their answers are really helpful. Sometimes, they can guide you through documentation that you wouldn't reach for yourself and all the information they passed me, at least, it was updated, complete and easy to understand. So, this is really helpful when it comes to implement a new tool.

I primarily use Soap UI to test XML/JSON requests and responses for APIs hosted by us and our vendors. Also, SoapUI is easy to use since all my requests are saved in a single location so I can export and share them with my team.

It helps me in speeding up testing process as all requests are saved and can be retrieved from a single location.

The application has to be restarted after being used for an hour or so as it stops working after that.

We encountered no issues with deployment.

With a big response size, the application hangs.

We've encountered no issues with scaling it.

It's easy to use and should not require any training.

The most valuable feature is the ease of project and test suite set up. A few clicks and imports and your project is set up.

We test services with SoapUI almost exclusively.

I cannot attest to the Ready Pro version, as I'm not really a fan of that version even though I am sure it offers a lot. I downgraded from that version after I installed it. I liked the earlier versions for what I do in the tool.

It would be nice to have an easier way to determine operation in the test case itself.

I've used it since 2012.

There were no issues with the deployment.

It has met and handled everything I have had to test with ease.

Very high. Whenever I have had to use the website for assistance I have found the answer there without having to call in.

I have not used anything like this tool. Eclipse does a lot that I need but SoapUI does as well.

I don’t recall, but I do remember it was fairly simple. Install and add the license and I was good to go.

We did our implementation in-house.

Great tool. Makes API testing super easy to set up and use.

It gives us the ability to quickly test web services.

It's sped up testing as we move towards a TDD environment.

In the LoadUI companion the scripts are not user friendly, and it also has a slow startup time.

We've been using it since 2014.

There were no issues with deployment.

There were no issues with the stability.

There were no issues with the scalability.

I am sure it's good but I have not had the need to contact customer service.

We also use Selenium/JMeter/Gomez etc. SoapUI is just one of the tools that I use.

• Prepared different kinds of testSteps
• It's easy to add assertions in the Pro version
• Groovy scripting
• Event handlers

Used for backend functional testing.

• Improve bug fixing
• Stability
• Memory consumption
• Exclude test results out of projects (xml file)
• Improve composite project mode (tried version 1.2,1.3 but after short time refused)

I've used it for more than three years starting with SoapUI Pro version 4.6.x. SoapUI NG from beginning after renamed to Ready API and be part of it.

8/10 - the answer for reported bug was a known issue and a fix will be a part of future releases, no time scale given. The bugs are are in many releases.

I have not used other solutions for back and testing personally. Comparing to robot framework SoapUI had more pros than robot framework.

Initial set-up of program is straightforward, preparing own project with dynamic path e.g. JDBC connection or endpoint is more complex.

The product is a good solution for functional back end testing, but the price should be lower due to already mentioned problems, bugs. Use other product framework for small solutions, due to price/bugs. The advantage is that the product is handy for testers, user friendly; ability to use load, security tests or create mocks.

The ability to analyse and simulate web services are clearly the main value.

Testing web services manually, speeds up things.

A better integration with IDE would be nice, but the main issue here is do not break what works well, as so many others have done.

I've used it for four years on and off.

The only problem is integration.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

It's OK, I've not used it much.

Tcpdump and others like that, no one had the ability to work in a structured way with webservices like SoapUI.

Straghtforward, when it works! Impossible when it does not.

I am never going to buy SoapUI, far to expensive. But I suppose the customers SoapUI are targeting do not give a damn about the price!

Ttry it, you may like it and you will know soon enough. Certainly worth the effort.

I like the features for SOAP, REST and JDBC. I also like the easy way to do assertions.

The tests are running fast and often which means that we get feedback about the tests very quick and then are able to evaluate the test results.

It would be nice if you could organize the tests in more levels. Would like to add my own error message when using the Message Content Assertion (this is for the PRO version). This could be useful when running the tests from Jenkins.

I have been using various versions since 2007.

Sometimes you have to reload the project when you are moving/reorganizing tests in a project.

Quick response from the support and forum.

We chose this product because it is easy to use and have many functions that supports ours needs for example SOAP, REST and JDBC requests.

Very easy to setup and use.

I have been using it as a consultant and in-house. It's easy to do if you follow the on-line instructions

The tool supports the way we want to automate or tests. That means all from creating tests and data to assertions and finally cleaning the data. The test are also running in a CI Jenkins environment. The pricing is okey for PRO version but the price is getting higher all the time. There are also a free version.

I think this is a very easy tool to use for automated tests to run in a CI environment. You don’t have to be a “hardcore” programmer to use the tool but to get the best from it you should have some interest in programming/scripting.
