CA Application Test Review
Pros
- It immensely helps to change your entire testing lifecycle approach and to implement Shift Left approach with the extensive emphasis on testing the api's.
- This is a great tool to implement Service virtualization for your and/or third-party web services. This will ensure we have 100% environment availability and consistency for automation and performance test environments.
- This tool also helps you with test data setup and management which is a very crucial piece of test automation.
- It also helps us to implement performance testing for apis using the Blazemeter.
Cons
- This tool comes with a license cost and not free. Many open source tools offer free api testing solution and so making some functionality of this tool as open source would be good
- Load testing piece is not integrated with in the tool and rather uses Blaze meter which is free.
- Some integration with UI and api testing will make this tool even more attractive
Return on Investment
- This tool gave a very positive ROI in our group. Especially with service virtualization where we minimized the downtime in our test environments significantly.
- Also, service virtualization helps to minimize the costs of hitting third party services often in lower environments.
