Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that the browser and the API testing is available in a single tool, and I don't have to look at other options."
"Video capture on failure is a must have. A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures (literally)."
"The most valuable feature of Katalon Studio is visual testing. It compares the look and feel of an application which is useful."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward and easy enough to complete."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"The product provides ease of automation for the cloud."
"The automation is very fast and you don't need to be overly proficient in coding."
"The most important feature is the Jenkins integration; it is pretty straight forward and allows us to run nightly builds."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features."
"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."
"SoapUI is uncomplicated and user-friendly."
"One good feature is SoapUI's URL check, which allows you to check among the applications. I'm not just talking about the ones for Android. It has all kinds of multi-world tests that are really helpful."
"ReadyAPI has the power to enrich all the technical work. You can achieve any complex task using ReadyAPI. I can also do UI automation with ReadyAPI. In a few test cases, we want to check the API and the equivalent UI. I download a job and write a piece of Groovy or Java code. It's almost the same in ReadyAPI. I can do that in a single test case. ReadyAPI is a powerful tool because you can do anything you want, but only you need to download the right set of jobs and produce the right set of code."
"The solution has some good scanning features."
"The utmost importance lies in the performance of the application."
"It would be helpful if they can integrate a feature for performance testing."
"It is difficult to identify elements on websites that use Angular or ReactJS because they don't have an option to view source code."
"I've seen that our clients are not truly aware of the power behind Katalon."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"The product is comparatively slow."
"The integration process with Jira should be enhanced and facilitated."
"The solution can be further improved with better loading time."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"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."
"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."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."
"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."
"The UI could be a bit more flexible."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
