ReadyAPI

ReadyAPI is a professional platform for building, testing, and deploying API solutions, featuring highly functional, secure, flexible, and load-testing procedures that can test the reliability of API projects of all sizes, from small extensions to cloud-aware solutions that will be used by a worldwide audience.

Built from the ground up to serve professional users who strive for perfection, this exceptionally complex software solution can provide a testing platform for not only API development but also countless forms of automation. It utilizes several protocols and architectural styles (SOAP, GraphQL, JMS, REST, and others), and has built-in support for simultaneous tests, automated reporting, and many other tools needed to battle test projects of all sizes.

The full feature set of ReadyAPI is so vast and complex that this short review cannot even cover everything. The app can handle everything from automated performance evaluation to virtualization, can handle numerous authentication testing, and has a large list of integrations with external solutions and services. Plugin support can touch almost every corner of this app, including API Definitions (Blueprint, RAML), API Management (IBM API, Microsoft Azure, JIRA, and others), API Test Automation (Azure, Jenkins, Maven, Visual Studio Team Services…), and more. ReadyAPI can also generate vast reports which include data analysis charts, detailed reports, and real-time tracking metrics for all apps and servers that API projects touch.

Due to its extensive toolset, ReadyAPI is deployed to end users as a premium application available in three basic subscription tiers - API Test Module, API Virtualization Module, and API Performance Module, with prices that start with a reasonable yearly price for a single developer and then go to the very expensive €6,010/license/year tier.

And that’s not even the most expensive tier. This honor goes to the “All Module” tier which does not have the publicly available price and is only needed for the most demanding developers that are working on projects that demand perfection in every aspect.
