A third-party, WiseClouds, calculated the productivity increase you get by upgrading from SoapUI Open Source to ReadyAPI. The calculations was made for a regular 100 hour testing project and they projected that the increase is 27%. Below you can see how their estimations were made.
Best practice category |
ReadyAPI benefit |
Hours saved |
1. Fully test services |
Automatic WSDL and request/response coverage eliminate error-prone hand coverage inspection |
3 |
|
Code-free assertions will eliminate hand-coding (assuming these skills even exist on the team) |
4 |
2. Test using lots of realistic data |
Hand-coding and testing scripts to feed tests with data (assuming sufficient programming skills).This must be repeated for each new data source and service |
5 |
|
Hand-coding and testing scripts to output data from tests (assuming sufficient programming skills. This must be repeated for each new data source and service |
3 |
3. Get the most productivity from developers and testers |
Availability of tech support (email and pro forum along with access to bug fix builds) will speed up trying to address any issues |
3 |
|
Tree editors improve productivity and speed, eliminate hand-coding |
2 |
|
Scripting libraries will prevent searching for already-written scripts, not to mention potential for errors to be introduced |

4. Fully track test results |
Built-in SOAP traffic monitoring saves time that would be spent deciphering logs |
2 |
|
Integrated reporting saves time constructing reports |

5. Make sure services are governed |
Test refactoring eliminates error-prone hand-editing of projects when services change |
