HH
Senior Engineer at Bosch
Scalable with strong reporting capabilities
I haven't found any specific areas for modernization or improvement in Galen Framework yet. However, one observation I have made is about the auto-generation of Galen files. While this feature exists, functions don't seem to be available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework.
Luis Sanchez - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Quality Assurance Test Engineer at Dormakaba
Helps in data, regression, performance, security, and functional testing
ReadyAPI Test needs to improve its reporting. While reports provide essential information when issues arise, or tests fail, having more graphical representations directly within the reports would be beneficial. It needs to improve stability and scalability as well. The tool's support is slow, and takes months to reach a solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like most about Galen Framework are its advantages, particularly its spec language and the spec file feature."
"In the market, not so many tools are able to check the layout with different screen resolutions as Galen can."
"I think this is a very easy tool to use for automated tests to run in a CI environment."
"We are using SoapUI Pro as an API testing tool, and we do API building, testing, and tracking."
"For us this has meant increased test coverage, better system security, less test execution time and above all a greater quality product."
"It's a very simple solution to use."
"SoapUI is very useful; before we started using SoapUI, we had to do everything manually, which is very time-consuming, and there were a few things we couldn't validate, but using SoapUI made everything easier, you can do six to seven hours of work efficiently, and it's more flexible to use."
"SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing."
"Using SoapUI's automation suites to run all our test cases saved us a lot of time. Running 300 test cases takes about three to four days. When you automate all that, it takes only two to three hours."
"Overall, I think this solution is very cool and easy-to-use."
 

Cons

"There don't seem to be functions available for automatically generating Galen values based on the specifications in the spec file, and this could be a potential improvement for Galen Framework."
"When I use @Test(dataProvider), it causes a loop; the test result/report cannot accept the value of the data and show it in the test result/report."
"For automation commands, it should be able to do what SmartBear is doing with ReadyAPI."
"The current interface is unsatisfactory."
"I am never going to buy SoapUI, far too expensive."
"I am not really a fan of the Ready Pro version even though I am sure it offers a lot."
"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy."
"The licenses could be more flexible with regards to floating licenses."
"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."
"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
"It is free of charge."
"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
"The cost is not that bad."
"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
