While migrating ScrapingBee out of Heroku we wanted to know how the new infra would react to the load. Simulating 400 users can be very resource-intensive and it would have been difficult to do it on our own machine. In Loadster it took me literally less than a minute. Using Loadster also allowed us to perfectly size our servers and we now know perfectly what are our bottlenecks what we will need to upgrade once we hit a certain usage threshold.

One killer feature would be to compare multiple testing runs. Let's say I launch test A. Then tweak my app and launch test B, I'd love to be able to easily compare A and B regarding what I changed in the app.

The user experience is awesome. The billing is simple and straightforward - the Fuel Calculator made it easy to work out the required usage. The actual script setup is easy as pie and so intuitive. You download the chrome extension and it records the script instantly. The screenshots auto generate so you can check it's run properly and it can easily handle entering values into fields, clicking on buttons and navigating around the site. If you've never used a performance testing tool for traffic, this is the one to go for - it didn't take much clicking around to feel familiar with the Dashboard and it's capabilities.

It's more suited to enterprise in terms of pricing as the minimum top up amount is $119 which is quite high, it would be great if there was a smaller package.

Summary:

Highly recommended, will be using again regularly in the future and it's added another tool to our belt!

I liked the Security Testing Features as it was very helpful in testing our APIs, Also the fact that you can use it to Automate your Test Scenarios which was very helpful as it saved around 50% of testing compared to manual testing.

I did not like ReadyAPI's usability and user interface and I think it needs a lot of improvements but that does not necessarily mean that you cannot get great results with it. Actually, the tool helped us to be more efficient as a team and focus on more important tasks.

ReadyAPI is mainly used by the Quality and Development departments in my organization. We mainly use it to conduct different types of testing on all kinds of web services like SOAP and REST services. It helps us conduct load tests, security tests, and functional tests as well. ReadyAPI is also very useful when it comes to automating the testing scenarios which helps us as a team get results much faster with better accuracy and thus delivering faster business value to our customers.

Allows us to take existing SoapUI tests and test backend services for stress/performance. Can scale tests run as needed. Amazon cloud integration is a big plus.

Drawbacks:

Has more of a learning curve than SoapUI, sometimes difficult to re-use existing tests depending on how your datasets are being used.

The tool allows you to write automated load/performance testing scripts, record scenarios and add them to your tests, integrate the tests into your CI/CD pipelines and it provides rather good execution reports.

Drawbacks:

The price is very steep and was too high for our budget, so we went with another open source tool.
