We have mostly tested REST APIs. We haven't tested SOAP-based APIs. I have more than 100 Microservices automated with ReadyAPI. They are integrated into CI/CD and are running on Azure DevOps on a daily basis. We get a comprehensive report on it. It is also faster to integrate and create a pipeline for ReadyAPI. We just have to point Azure DevOps to the XML file we generate when the project runs locally. It's quite fast. I will recommend the tool to others. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.

I would recommend ReadyAPI for users who need a tool for daily API testing, especially for organizations with frequent API deliveries. While it can be challenging to manage, especially with daily testing requirements, it is essential for maintaining version control and handling various data scenarios. Additionally, ReadyAPI integrates well with tools like Jenkins for automation, making it a valuable choice in a continuous integration environment. Overall, I would rate ReadyAPI as a five out of ten.
ReadyAPI is one of the best tools which is available in the market to automate and test manually. Most of our employees know how to use the solution well and value it. Utilizing ReadyAPI is highly recommended. It's a user-friendly and efficient tool that can meet your fundamental requirements, both in manual and automated methods. It's a reliable tool that's easy to use and there aren't many better alternatives available. I rate ReadyAPI a seven out of ten.
I would advise anyone considering implementing this solution to look at the Smartbear documentation on ReadyAPI in order to explore new ways to implement it according to customer requirements and to understand how the product operates. I rate this solution eight out of 10.
I would recommend this tool to others for basic test automation with good performance. A beginner level knowledge of groovy scripting will be sufficient to use this solution. I would rate it a seven out of ten because I haven't used any other test automation tools so I don't have anything to compare it to.
Whatever scripts we have created, we have to maintain them, but the solution itself does not require maintenance. This solution is limited to only SOAP and REST services. There can be one free month license available if there is proof of concept to be conducted, then go ahead. It is easily available. I rate ReadyAPI a nine out of ten.
I would say that it's a very strong tool by itself. I haven't seen any other tool that matches the capabilities from a standalone point of view. If your goal is, "Hey, I have a bunch of services I want to test and play around with and even automate some testing around on a standalone machine," ReadyAPI is very powerful and capable and has a lot of benefits. It saves a lot of time for future testing, so if I want to repeat a test over and over again every single day, it saves time. It has good source connections, such as a database or an Excel or adjacent file. It can take the source input in various formats, and it can give the output in various formats, like Excel, or it can also write it into a database. It has that integration available with other technologies. I think it is trying to improve itself by having integrations into Bamboo, Jenkins and Jira, but it's bit late in the game there. I think there's still a lot of work to do on the CI. I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten.

I would say they should know exactly what they're looking for because if they're looking for API testing, this is a perfect tool. If they want to automate the process, then go ahead and use ReadyAPI. It is the best tool that I have ever seen for API testing. However, if you're just using it for manual API testing, I would say get the trial version or use Postman. We also use JMeter for performance or load testing, but ReadyAPI gives both API and load testing. If you want to do both, this is a good tool. I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten because we haven't integrated it yet with any deployment tools, so I don't know how difficult that process will be.
It is good to explore the ReadyAPI functionality and compare with its price. If so, then it can become a great tool for your organization for the long run and different types of APIs. You should consider the API styles you have, such as SOAP, REST, or GraphQL, and check out how it is supported in ReadyAPI and how much benefit ReadyAPI will bring to you.
I would advise anybody thinking of implementing ReadyAPI to install the trial version and go through the tutorial so that they can learn how the solution works. I would rate ReadyAPI as eight out of ten.

It's not stable. The Git API within ReadyAPI is a a GUI front end to make it easier to do version control but it doesn't work well as mentioned. It's not reliable. I would not recommend this product, as there are better products out there. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

I would say go for it. It is a really great tool. It is a game-changer because you can automate faster and quicker. It also doesn't take much time for any person to pick up the tool. It is pretty lightweight. Any person who has a little bit of technical background or 1% JavaScript knowledge can quickly use it and write code in Groovy. I would rate ReadyAPI an eight out of ten.

Our plan includes a need to filter out all the API, middle-tier bugs. This is the initial phase of development. We don't want to find any bugs in either UAT or UAP. That's an objective for us, but right now, we are setting up the team and people are working on it. My advice for anybody who is implementing ReadyAPI is, to begin with establishing a framework of what they want to achieve. Comfort with the framework is more important, before acquiring the license. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

If you're testing mainly on API and then you want to have a full-fledged API testing on load performance, function, security, etc., this product will actually be a one-stop platform for that. I would rate this solution an eight out of 10.

The main advantage is that it could be integrated into different CI/CD tools. That is something that is really valuable and helpful. I would rate it an eight out of ten. In the next release, they should make the ability to extend different functions a bit easier. We extend some functionalities and it's possible to extend the functionalities because you have the ability to add many interesting pieces by yourself to that API but it's not so easy. It would really help if they improved that.
I would recommend this solution to people who need official support. For companies who have experts in open-source technology, they can avoid using ReadyAPI. I think that it would come down to the specific client, or project. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Third-parties have been developing integration with this solution. For example, JIRA has been integrated. My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is to consider that they will save a lot of money, and there will be a reduction in errors from the use of external data or wrong parameters. The quality of their code will be better, so do not hesitate to buy this kind of solution. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
