It enables IT professionals to use the predefined functional test cases to create and configure new load tests according to the applications’ requirements. The platform offers various types of load strategies such as fixed, variable, burst, ramp sequence and more, which lets teams simulate visitor traffic and load on test websites and evaluate the performance of APIs. Administrators can utilize LoadUI Pro’s server monitoring functionality to display various metrics including server response time, the number of simulated users and more using real-time graphs. Using a distributed load testing feature, users can run functional tests across multiple computers to simulate the load on the target server. Pricing is available on an annual license basis and support is extended via documentation. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 5 users.

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. ----- ### "An excellent tool for load testing, but very expensive." — 4.0/5 > **Ahmed** | *31 July 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: The price is very steep and was too high for our budget, so we went with another open source tool. ----- ### "ReadyAPI is a great tool for API Testing" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *6 January 2022* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use once you get use to it. Great for testing API calls; better than Postman. > > **Cons**: Cost is a big factor. SmartBear charges a good penny. ----- ### "Leveraged existing SoapUI tests to widen scope of app testing beyond simply functional." — 5.0/5 > **Ray** | *16 May 2018* > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: Has more of a learning curve than SoapUI, sometimes difficult to re-use existing tests depending on how your datasets are being used. ----- ### "Nice product" — 5.0/5 > **sadri** | *2 February 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ReadyApi is the best. More years ago we use SoapUI. But ReadyAPi is more more better. > > **Cons**: ReadyApi is a nice apllication, but it's expensive and there isnt a free version ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/178813/loadui-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
