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."We can write code in Java and it is easy to link to other JARs that we find on the internet, which is very handy."
"Whenever I speak to the support team of Katalon Studio, I learn that some new features will be included in the product. It is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature is its automation security capabilities."
"I personally like the 'Object Spy' feature of this tool. It makes it easy to find an element on the web page."
"Our clients have requested by all types of testing, including mobile, desktop, and API testing and all of those are covered by Katalon. I find that very valuable, very complete."
"I rate Katalon Studio's scalability a four out of five."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"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."
"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."
"The solution scales well."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."
"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 interface is user-friendly."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"It seems to lack a few requirements that a typical customer would want. Compared to other solutions, this product is lacking."
"The price of the solution is a bit high. It's one of the reasons we decided not to continue using the product."
"The tool's maintenance is very difficult since they do not follow call by value or call by reference. Due to this, any change happening is not reflected throughout all the test cases. There are some issues with data parameterization as well."
"There is not much support offered for the free version, which is something that could be improved."
"Katalon lacks integration with other software, including integrating other languages like .NET and PHP."
"My recently-updated Katalon studio version hangs a lot and is not a stable version."
"The product’s regression testing time could be reduced."
"Currently, I'm the only one who can use it because I have a Mac. It is giving a hard time to my team members who are on Linux. My team members are using Linux, and Katalon doesn't support Linux very well. It keeps on crashing. It crashes and shuts down almost every time they save their work, so they are not able to use it. It should have good support for Linux. We don't know what the problem is. If the Katalon team can pick up this issue, it will be very helpful."
"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."
"Stability has been an issue for us. It needs to be looked at and made a bit better."
"Occasionally, when you are saving, the solution can hang."
"There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."
"The UI should be improved."
"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."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
