The feature of automatically executing tests at a predefined time interval is great as we can be continuously testing our end-points before and after builds are deployed.

As we have the APIs scheduled, we use the notifications. We know the exact moment it is breaking something that might impact the customer system, that might result in a feature not working. We know "in advance" and we can fix it before the customer notices. It helps us to be more proactive.

This solution has improved our responsiveness to issues in both production and non-production environments. Through integration with Slack, our development and DevOps teams are quickly aware of issues related to new changes deployed to non-production environments, which tightens our feedback loop during testing. Through integration with PagerDuty, our DevOps resources are able to reduce the adverse impact of a given production issue.

Valuable features include: Being able to add tests as sub-tests in a parent test for regression testing;
notifications for tests that pass/fail; being able to customize expected results with assertions; being able to set tests to run daily.

We love the fact that we can have our API tests run on a schedule as often as we need. We also take advantage of being able to set up different environment settings so that we can use the same test in our production, integration, and QA environments, easily. The ability to string together a number of API tests for a test suite is very important to us as well.

Reliability. I would like to see more money invested in disaster recovery testing of the application. The product should be hosted across several AWS regions so if there are issues with an EC2 instance in a particular region, the whole application won't be affected. Once or twice a year there are issues with AWS that causes the reliability of the application to suffer.

One thing that can be improved is the logging. Sometimes, when we have an error, we don't know how to find more information about the problem that has happened. Sometimes, it just returns something like "that gateway." More information would be a way to improve it.
If you forget to set the default environment during test creation, you have to go through every test and make sure that it is set to the environment that you prefer if using shared environments. If there was an option to force all tests within a bucket into a specific environment with one click, this would save a lot of time.

We would like the ability to configure Runscope behavior when a given test has its schedule modified. That is, in a non-production environment, we often need to pause a test (either by removing it from the schedule or adjusting its frequency) and this results in the automatic kick-off of this test in all other environments. We would like the ability to simply pause a test for a specific shared environment without causing additional tests to be started.

We would like to be able to select the actual time a test will run automatically. It appears that you can set up the automatic schedule, but the test runs based on the last time it ran and not a time you select. Since we want these tests to run in the middle of the night, it would be nice to be able to select that.
File upload is a big part of the products that we test. The lack of file upload in Runscope requires us to still use UI (Selenium) automated tests for these scenarios.

Navigation can be a little tricky when changing run environments and switching between test run results and editing the tests. It would be nice if you could switch the environment for all tests in a Bucket to run, rather than having to change each test environment.

I've noticed, once or twice, when there were some updates pushed by Runscope, at times it didn't refresh the pages. I was running it, there were multiple tests running at the same time, and it didn't update the webpage I was looking at. So I had to refresh it manually. Occasionally, it still happens.
