Any short term plan for soapui.org homepage update to offer ReadyAPI documentation?

In past the SoapUI home page was more or less usable to get started. But now with ReadyAPI tool box it is not possible anymore with given examples. As a paid user of SoapUI pro, now called SoapUI NG...

    Hi psy,

     

    As far as I know our PO thinks about updated the Ready! API start page. I’ll let him know your concerns.

    Meanwhile, have you already found the http://readyapi.smartbear.com/ web site? It contains a lot of technical Ready! API articles.

It is a general issue. After working with old SoapUI GUI, it is a big change and thus not easy to find the stuff on its known places.

For the location of my Mock service I took 45 minutes to recognize the new place, another 10 minutes to "see" the big "Script" button in the middle for my groovy script.

 

Comming from SoapUI as our tool, we waste our time to realize the new locations, places of configuration, etc...

 

A general GUI point of view with comparison of SoapUI and ReadyAPI is highly advisable.

At least as short term, the getting started chapters should point to ReadyAPI.

      Come to know about this now, thank you for the link, Tanya. Glad to see a separate one for the ReadyAPI.

      Hello, thank you for the link to that new online help. Yes, this is was I have searched for as an entry point. As short term I would propose to place such info on www.soapui.org somewhere at the top as sticky note like "For easy changeover from SoapUI to ReadyAPI usage and Ready! API online help, please click here"
