Introduction📘
Ready API is a SOAP API and REST automation testing tool. Ready API is an API testing platform intended to streamline our testing workflows. It is an easy-to-use no-code API testing platform. Ready API platform speeds security, functional, and load testing of SOAP, RESTful, GraphQL, and other web services.
Ready API allows groups to create, manage and execute automated security, functional, and performance tests in one centralized interface. This speeds up API quality for DevOps and Agile software development teams.
This blog will discuss how to create and import projects in Ready API. Let's get started!
Creating Projects📚
For creating an empty project in Ready API, we have multiple ways. Following are the ways to create a project:
🎯If creating the first project, click Create in the Navigator.
🎯 Another way is to click on the three horizontal lines in the right corner of the Navigator and click on Create Empty Project.
🎯 Or, we can Goto File> New Empty Project.
After creating a project, Ready API allows us to add an API to it:
In this way, we can create an empty project in Ready API. The following section will see how to import the project into Ready API.
Importing Projects
Importing is a simple process in which we open the existing project files and add them to a workspace.
📌 Importing a local project
Local projects are kept on the same computer as Ready API. There are multiple ways to import a project based on how we store it.
🕵️♀️ For Project File
To import a project file, follow these steps:
Goto File > Import Project.
Mention the .xml project file.
Select Open.
🕵️♀️ For Composite Project
To import a composite project, follow these steps:
Goto File > Import Composite Project
Select the root folder.
Then Click on Select Folder.
🕵️♀️ Packed Project
To import a packed project, follow these steps:
Goto File > Import Packed Project.
Provide the .zip archive.
Select Open.
Provide the folder where we will unpack the project.
🕵️♀️ Import Remote Projects
We can import projects with the help of the HTTP protocol. This feature lets us publish projects (such as demonstrations, bug reports, or tutorials)on a website. And then, we can import them on a different System.
To import a remote project, follow these steps:
Goto File > Import Remote Project.
Provide the project file's URL to import the project.
Select OK.
📌 Resolve import issues
When we import a test case or project, Ready API automatically loons into whether the project is compatible and has all needed external dependencies.
For resolving a project manually, right-click the project in the Navigator and click on Resolve. If the project has errors, the Resolve dialog will appear. We can resolve the errors in the dialog by providing the required values.
To open an item, double-list on the list. Resolve the issue in the corresponding editor:
Choose an appropriate action from the drop-down menu to the right of every item.
Enter values or parameters as required.
Select Ok.
📌 Reload Projects
We can reload a project in the workspace. Whenever we reload the project, Ready API closes the project, discards the changes, and again opens the project file.
For reloading a project, follow these steps:
In the Navigator, Select a project.
Right-click on the project and click on Reload.
Choose the .xml project file we want to reload.
Select Open.
We can also Goto Project > Reload and choose the project file we need.
Export Projects📚
When we export a project, Ready API converts the project into a zip file. Apart from the project file, the package will store all external dependencies, like external data sources, attachments, or certificates.
For exporting a project, follow the below steps:
In the Navigator, select a project.
Right-click on the project and Click on Export.
Choose a folder where we want to save a zip file.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ready API used for?
Ready API is used to create, manage, and execute security, automated functional, and performance tests in a single centralized interface.
What is the difference between ready API and Postman?
Ready API is built throughout each test case so that the tests can store different endpoints, pieces of data, or resources. While Postman is built throughout each endpoint in an API which makes end-to-end testing impossible to track & follow.
Is Ready API automation tool?
Ready API is a SOAP API, a REST automation testing tool.
How do I create a project in Ready API?
Goto File > New Empty Project. New Project will be created.
What is the difference between SOAP API and REST?
SOAP is a protocol, whereas REST is an architectural style.
