Hi,

 

What is the reason of using JavaScript instead of Groovy?

    We have some other automation which needs only Javascripts to be used. As the tool supports only one (either Groovy or Javascript) at any given point in time(?) for single project, need other automation in Groovy to be converted to Javascript.

      Hi amf,

       

      Based on what I see, the groovy script is much popular for API tests because of some advantages, like getting access to the object model. This allows users to create powerful scripts. For ReadyAPI users, we recommend that they use Groovy. Here is why:

      We support the JavaScript Rhino engine by Mozilla Foundation as well. You can use it. To create scripts on this language, please refer to the engine documentation.
