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.
