Ping-API vs. Runscope vs. SQL Server vs. TestMace Comparison Chart

An API Monitoring (Runscope) API test is a group of one or more HTTP requests executed sequentially to evaluate the uptime, performance and correctness of an API. For each step in the test, you can define Assertions to validate response data and Variables to extract data to be used in subsequent requests. A test Passes if all the assertions pass. A test Fails if any assertion fails, or another error is encountered, such as a network connection problem. Your customers shouldn’t be the ones telling you about downtime and breakages. Runscope supports the notification tools you already use, like PagerDuty, Slack, HipChat, email, webhooks and more. Proactively monitor service performance to quickly catch and debug API problems fast. Stay ahead of intermittent failures before they become major issues with the API Dashboard and daily API Performance Report. Verify that the structure and content of your API calls meets your expectations. Powerful and flexible assertions give you total control.

Test Mace is a modern powerful crossplatform tool for working with an API and creating automated API tests. Create requests and scenarios using variables, authentication, autocomplete feature and syntax highlighting. Build complex scenarios using our convenient and simple UI interface. Perform full regression testing with just one click. Assign a request result to a variable and get access from other nodes. Save authorization tokens, response headers or parts of a response body. Run your scenarios in different environment contexts. Use this to organize development, stage and production environments. Embedded authentication methods will help you to do authentication if you use one of the most popular types. You can use quick share feature to share your request with colleagues. Just press a button to copy a specific node's url. All that you need now is to send this url to your teammate.
