"Test Automation with SOAP UI PRO"

5/5

What do you like best about ReadyAPI?

It is really easy to write automated test cases with SOAP UI. Forums and descriptions are quite good, so I learned fast. I like that I can make dynamic Mockups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?

It is hard to use HTTP request and couldn't find a good explanation or example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ReadyAPI solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using SOAP messages to communicate with 3rd parties. I simulate all the communications request with SOAPUI. I use it to create test data, get information from the database, and mockup some other 3rd parties. With SOAP UI I can make functional testing. I also use it for test automation.

Any possible scenario could be thought of is covered by the SOAP UI tool. Excellent help is available in every part of the tool. I have done a POC with the tool and my team liked the features.

"Amazing tool for Testing WebServices"

4/5

What do you like best about ReadyAPI?

It converts the XML request into a form which is easy to use. Has Environment Functionality which allows to run our cases in different environment with a change in selection. It also allows project to be saved as composite project which creates different folder rather than one single linear file Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?

The passwords arent masked and so it shows up in the report as well. When we need to share the report we would need to manually mask the password which is a downside but I hope they fix it soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Product but less user friendly"

3/5

What do you like best about ReadyAPI?

This was the first web service client for me. I used to work on SOAP UI for SOAP Web service testing. The best part of it is mocking web service. It makes life easier when you want to do web service development locally and have dependency on another undeveloped web service. Automatic SOAP Envelope generation on the basis of WSDL is also a best feature of this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReadyAPI?

UI is worst and its best feature mocking services also have many bugs. It would be great if SmartBear will make it more lighter and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
