About ReadyAPI
ReadyAPI is SmartBear's desktop application for testing APIs. It covers functional testing, performance and load testing, security testing and API virtualization for SOAP and REST services. Tests can be built without code to start with, then scripted when more control is needed, and parallel test runs are supported.
Recent versions add AI features: tests can be generated from plain-language descriptions inside the GUI, and an MCP server lets agents such as Claude or Copilot run ReadyAPI tests from an IDE or terminal. It suits QA teams and testers working on larger API projects.
