ReadyAPI Feature Requests

Reference Issue - https://community.smartbear.com/t5/ReadyAPI-Questions/Ready-API-3-42-0-automatically-updates-projectVersion-every-time/m-p/240988/emcs_t/S2h8ZW1haWx8dG9waWNfc3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ufExBSklETVhHWkdEMTUxfDI0MDk4OHxTVUJTQ1JJUFRJT05TfGhL#M57307   projectVersion value changes everytime a project is saved. When trying to Pull changes from git, setting.xml needs to be committed first, but it re-appears again as a new change, which blocks pulling from git.  The "Discard all changes", don't really discard the document. ...

Current situation ReadyAPI DataGenerator provides different random values (random integer, email, name, city, etc.) I like this function since it creates nice test data. However, the random values are only accessible via DataGenerator DataSource.   Proposal It would be great if we could use them in: REST, SOAP, and other requests Variable setup Groovy scripts etc. In ReadyAPI the random values could be available via: expansion e.g. ${#Random#FirstName} Get data function adding a Random category in the top level Implementation proposal Wrapping Java Faker (https://github.com/DiUS/java-faker ) would do the task.   Java faker can be configured to use localized data (e.g. english names, spanish names, etc.) The faker provides a lot of interesting data useful for testing, just to name few of them:   Address Animal App Artist Avatar Aviation Book Business Company Color File Finance Food Name Nation Number PhoneNumber and many more, including some funny categories like ChuckNorris.   ...

In Ready API, we can import API definition directly from SwaggerHub. When in a new version is available, I can't use the update definition feature to load the openAPi specs from Swaggerhub. ... View more

The need In ReadyAPI there are nice options of reporting, however there is missing any function to do report post-processing. The post-processing needs are: to send a report via email put the report into a storage create a Jira item etc. Currently the report files are just placed in the output directory.   On TestCase and TestSuite level there are Report script holders, but the purpose of the script is to   extend the reporting options   (it is executed before the reports are finished, not after), i.e. for report pre-processing. On the project level there is no such option.   Solution proposal A good place to execute specific actions are   the events. But there is no "ReportListener.afterReport" event.  Please add a new event ReportListener.afterReport which will be triggered after any report is finished by testrunner.  Such event will be used by Groovy scripts to do the report post-processing.   ...

It would really be helpful if OAuth2 authentication would be enabled for  Kafka topics just like for Rest APIs. Tokens would be dynamically  generated and then put a reference to it into the connection settings.    This feature would enable automating Kafka topics using OAuth2 as tokens expire after a given period (60 minutes or less usually)   ...

Currently, when you insert a URL (for example) that contains a "-" (e.g. https://mycompany.com/core/reg/by-binary-data) the shown text after saving the test is struckthrough.  The Test Details/Step text box is hard-coded to only use the Wiki-style Renderer and so characters that are perfectly valid in URLs are interpreted as some manner of markup. Just allowing customers to modify the renderer used to the Text Renderer in these fields, like the other JIRA text fields on forms, would allow these characters to be shown as expected. ...

I'm sorry, but to me the idea mentioned Intellisense-on-custom-groovy-library by @runzTH almost 6 years ago (wow!) is still not implemented, even though labeled as such. In current version ReadyAPI 3.10.0 I still do not have the kind of intellisense I would like to see:    - no hassling with .jar files, I want to have interoperability with all of the groovy files in my custom script library like defined in the ReadyAPI project. A restart of some sort I can understand, but when we need to start with importing files we know this is something that will only work locally and for that version.  - PLEASE: Proper IDE capabilities, like auto-complete, auto-formatting, code error detections (missing curly bracket for instance),  renaming/refactoring,  search (and replace),... in ALL scripts (setup scripts, groovy tests steps, tear downs, script library,...). It is such a breeze when I use other (front-end) test automation tools to see that I can do those things, but then return to ReadyAPI and feel like an IT-guy from the 90's.  - I'd like proper javaDoc documentations to know what each method does. Currently I can only see what parameter type(s) I need to provide, but not what this method actually does or what I can expect to be returned.   Scripting is such an extra weapon to be used in ReadyAPI, it's a shame it cannot be made more powerful by Smartbear. ...

Allow to copy current value from Smart Assertion. Sometimes need to change one value in Smart Assertion and don't want to set/change all values from response. So please allow to copy current value from Smart Assertions. ... View more

It would be very helpful to have the option to ONLY populate FAILED assertions from received data in the Smart Assertion. Now it's only possible to populate all data, which results in losing, for example, valid values asserted by property data. ... View more

Hi,  There is no possibility currently to integrate ReadyAPI and Zephyr Squad on JIRA Server.  In this documentation, it is mentioned that only Zephyr Squad Cloud is supported.  It would be nice to have it for Zephyr Squad on Jira Server ... View more

Can SmartBear add a linter to ReadyAPI? I would like to make ReadyAPI check the quality of a user's work (test cases and scripts), i.e. perform linting. The work can be checked as the user is typing it or when the user requests for it. For example, ReadyAPI should complain when the user does not write a description for a test case, the user's groovy code has known bad practices etc. Some rules can be ignored by the user, but some should be mandatory. I'd also like to generate a report of all the issues in a test case/script to see if people ignored the complains and did not follow best practices. Keywords - Linting, Linter, Code Analysis.   PS - I asked this as a question also over here https://community.smartbear.com/t5/API-Functional-Security-Testing/Linting-or-automatic-code-checking-in-ReadyAPI/m-p/208439#M47532   ...

I would like the ability to mask passwords in the settings.xml file for Composite Project files. Our security team flag this as risk since usernames and passwords are exposed in this file. We would like to continue to use the Auth Repository feature while keeping our project files in Composite format. ... View more

When Smart Assertion is created property is used for some values in Valid Value column in Smart Assertion (ReadyAPI v3.9.2). Some values might changed in response so it is nice to use "Populate from Received Data". But it changes all values from response. It would be nice that there would be possibility to save/leave not changed properties. ... View more

Current behaviour: 1) In the additional request headers tab of a SOAP/REST test step I select multiple headers (the selected headers visually are selected by having the color blue = OK).  2) I click on the delete bin button. 3) Only the first header is deleted. Expected behaviour: ALL of the selected headers should be deleted. If a use wants to delete 10 headers he now has to manually select them and delete them one-by-one. This is frustrating.   Note: this issue has been around for ages.  Additionally: We (luckily) can select and copy the headers properly by doing a select and then Ctrl+C. The feature of copy-pasting request headers might not be really visible in the UI (e.g. there is no "copy" button), but I am very grateful this is possible through Ctrl+C. Might be wise to visually allow this to? ... View more

1) Change the Target Test Case selection from a drop-down single-selection list box to a sub-dialogue that allows multiple Test Cases to be selected and test steps to be selected for each test case. 70% of the time I spend in ReadyAPI is repetitive data entry of cloning assertions one at a time between test cases where the default test case is the one I'm using for the source.    2) Change the default selection of the Assertions from none selected to all selected. No one ever needs none cloned, that's a non-operation.      ... View more

Hi,   The latest version of ReadyAPI 3.20.0 seems to fix encrypted properties being displayed as plain text in logs within the ReadyAPI software itself but this does not translate when running the project from Azure DevOps using the "ReadyAPI Test for Azure DevOps task" as encrypted properties are still being exposed there.   1. The project password for the task is in plain text - This property should be masked as anyone who views the task would be able to download and access the encrypted project and its properties.   2. Encrypted properties are displayed in the logs/requests as plain text The password has been encrypted in the custom properties using the "selected properties" project encryption . However, encyrpted properties are being shown in the task logs when a request that uses the properties fail or when logged using groovy script as plain text.    This display of encrypted properties as plain text is unacceptable especially when creating production tests so it would be benefical if encyrpted properties are not exposed.   Thanks, Kayleigh ...

I distinctly remember being able to use a 'Run From Here' option (context menu when right clicking a test case from the Test Suite summary screen i.e. the one where the bars show green and red when a test passes or fails). It seems to be gone in one of the last versions? I can see inside a Test case if you right mouse click on a test step you can select run from here. What happens to me is I have a suite with 20 cases and case 14 fails. I then inspect it and want to run case 15 onwards so in the past I would right mouse click this test case and choose Run From Here ... ... View more
