Pros

Swagger Integration: Many users have praised the ability of SoapUI and ReadyApi to read in endpoints for a restful web service via a Swagger page or definitions file. This feature has been described as extremely helpful, with reviewers appreciating the time-saving aspect of not having to figure things out directly or rely on specs to build their requests. Additionally, the ability to easily update endpoints when they change was seen as a valuable feature.

Groovy Functions: Users have found the addition of groovy functions in SoapUI and ReadyApi to be very useful. They appreciate being able to use a programming language with Java libraries, which provides them with much more flexibility in how they process results and build follow-up requests.

Auto-generation of Test Cases: The auto-generation of test cases in SoapUI Pro has received high praise from users. It gives them a good head start on their testing efforts by building a set of tests that cover at least the happy path scenarios. Users also appreciate the visual guide provided by the test case GUI, which helps them structure their suites and scenarios effectively.

Pros

API
Alerts/Notifications
Productivity analysis
Test management
Data extraction

Cons

VSC doesn't work well
No connector to NoSQL database
Performance

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for test management.

ReadyAPI - quick, easy and highly functional

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Phase Change is in active development with our AI product, Cobol Colleague. We use ReadyAPI to validate API responses continuously using our CI/CD pipeline, which integrates with Jenkins and Test Rail. We also use the LoadUI Pro capabilities to do quick load testing when necessary, re-using our ReadyAPI (SoapUI Pro) tests. This re-use capability was a large reason we went with ReadyAPI.

Pros

Easy to use JSON path exploration to find the correct element to assert
Easy to re-use SOAPUI Pro tests in the LOADUI feature
Easy to integrate with Jenkins

Cons

Would be very handy to have some "canned" groovy scripts for more complex assertions - we had to create our own
API coverage reports just don't seem to make sense

Likelihood to Recommend

ReadyAPI is well suited for API assertion testing and lends itself to easily modularizing the functions being asserted. The integrations with Jenkins and TestRail are very easy to use. There is some flexibility in the scenario set up for LOADUI that we like - it's not as robust as some others (e.g. LoadRunner) but it does the job for us.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ReadyAPI is used for the quality department to bring efficiency on the API test. We use the tool to automated all the API that the company has, doing the process easy and fast. We do regression test with just a click, saving time, give us the option to handle more that one API in less time.

Pros

Easy to learn.
Friendly user experience.
A lot of documentation.

Likelihood to Recommend

We use ReadyAPI mainly for the regression test, really easy to check all the endpoints that you need in less time. Also is really easy add new endpoint. Also, we check one a week all the API that we has with just one click, providing the errors with good response and efficiency.

ReadyAPI offers a lot of power and flexibility for testing web services and APIs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use ReadyAPI [(formerly SoapUI Pro, LoadUI Pro, & ServiceV Pro)] to quickly test web services. We consume services from many different vendors, clients, and other business partners. SOAP web services can be very tedious to manually test. ReadyAPI allows us to quickly import service definitions and test requests and uses cases before beginning proper implementation in our projects.

Pros

Import service definitions for quick discovery
Send requests and inspect responses
Set up test suites/cases

Cons

Code generation is out dated
XML generation can be a bit disorganized at times

Likelihood to Recommend

We use ReadyAPI [(formerly SoapUI Pro, LoadUI Pro, & ServiceV Pro)] to test other web services for evaluation and discovery purposes. WSDL and other SOAP services are especially tedious to manually test in other generic HTTP testing tools, especially with large payloads. ReadyAPI lets us skip the needless scaffolding and send requests quickly, so that we can begin development on consuming the services in our projects.

ReadyAPI also allows configurable test cases for WSDLs, which enable integration testing of a service that might otherwise be difficult or tedious.

ReadyAPI can test REST and other simple HTTP requests, but is tedious for one-off testing of these types of APIs.

SoapUI Pro is a real good tool for all your web service testing needs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We build a lot of web services using various technologies like NODE JS and Springboot. But we have not found a better tool to test what we made and give our Product managers a good demo other than SoapUI Pro. We use SoupUI Pro extensively. It has a very clean and easy user interface and a lovely way to organize various URLs. We have explored other products like Postman, but nothing matches close to SoapUI Pro. We use it extensively for testing the APIs and Web services as well.

Pros

SoapUI Pro helped us with asynchronous testing of the web services.
Helped with our testing with data from databases and various files.

Cons

Tad bit expensive than their competitors.
No helpful with Web UI Testing and mobile app testing.

Likelihood to Recommend

We compared SoapUI Pro with a lot of other products in the market like Postman and Katalon Studio. SoapUI Pro was the winner. This provides a clean user interface and an excellent way to organize projects. Helped us with test reports and handled multiple testing environments. Our team resued the test scripts efficiently.

SOAPUI tool for webservices testing.

Rating: 9 out of 10

May 1, 2014

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We work on web services development and SoapUI is a great tool. It helps testing both functional and load in a very systematic way and its support for Groovy script helps build the automated testing for the QA engineers on my team. It is a reliable tool even for regression testing and as a developer i have been using this from last 3 years and its help testing both SOAP and REST services. I would highly recommend this tool and its very easy to use.

Pros

Used in Rest based webservices
Used in Soap based webservices
Used for Functional testing
Good LoadUI tool, easy to check result response.

Cons

MAC-OS tool needs improvement.

Likelihood to Recommend

For SOAP service awesome tool. For REST you have other options available too but still a good tool to use.
One of the best tool in market for webservice testing. Groovy support is the best.
