"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Technical support is helpful."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in."
"They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic."
"The developers put the API in a common workspace which is a nice feature. It makes things much easier and faster to start testing."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward. Postman can be used as an extension in Google Chrome for those who do not wish to install it directly. Deployment took an hour and a half."
"The solution collects scenarios and allows for testing SOAP API, REST API and API automation at the same time."
"This solution offers a free version."
"Postman allows you to incorporate and export the test cases we create. It enables me to share the test cases with my colleagues, so I don't have to copy them into an Excel sheet. Postman lets me export the dataset and share it with my team. They can use my test case for their testing."
"Postman is useful for API testing."
"It helps me to test APIs independently. It also supports hosting."
"We can test APIs. We know if they are functional or throwing any errors."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu."
"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."
"The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective."
"Reporting facilities can be better."
"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."
"The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."
"There needs to be more flexibility surrounding the testing of SOAP APIs."
"Integration should be improved with our continuation system because we use Azure DevOps separately."
"Postman quality assurance could improve when doing tests."
"They should integrate the solution with one of the CRM solutions."
"If we have a certain build on one machine it won't work with another build even if we are using the same URL. It would give us a connection refuse. So developing environment compatibility would make it better."
"We'd like to see videos or user-friendly reference documentation to help us figure out the solution or troubleshoot issues on our own."
"The solution has some user interface difficulties when conducting environment collections."
"We cannot see transaction times in the product."
