Hello everyone,
I need to do a security test (vulnerabilities) on an API, I have the swagger .json that was sent to me, I downloaded ReadyApi 3.54.0, is this the recommended software for this type of test? Which version should I buy to unlock the options?

    Hi andrear 

    When it comes to API testing tools, SoapUI offers a basic, open-source solution for testing REST and SOAP APIs, covering fundamental functionality.

    However, for more advanced requirements, ReadyAPI, the commercial version of SoapUI, provides a comprehensive suite of features, including security testing, load testing, and enhanced API management capabilities.

    Given your specific need to perform security tests on an API using a Swagger .json file, ReadyAPI is the more suitable choice, as it offers the necessary advanced features, whereas the open-source SoapUI may have limitations in this area, making it less ideal for your requirements.

    Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
    Thank you very much and have a great one!
    Warm regards
