What's New
Important Notice for ReadyAPI Customers
ReadyAPI has fully transitioned to the ID-based SmartBear License Management (SLM) system. We are now moving into the final phase of the deprecation of file-based licenses. Customers still using file-based licensing need to plan for migration to SLM before September 30, 2025.
If you are still in the process of migrating or have not started yet, contact your Account Manager or SmartBear representative today. Our teams are ready to assist with smooth transition strategies. For additional support, log a request with our Customer Care Team, who are standing by to help.
For further information and timelines, refer to the File-Based License End-of-Life Policy page.
Welcome to the New ReadyAPI Documentation Experience
We have updated the ReadyAPI product documentation to provide a more streamlined and consistent user experience across our entire product portfolio. While retaining all essential information, the updated documentation features a fresh design that makes it easier to navigate, read, and utilize.
The new documentation experience offers several key benefits:
Enhanced panel structure and navigation: A reorganized layout for quicker, more intuitive access to content.
Improved search capabilities: Find information faster with a more powerful and precise search function.
Better usability: Simplified viewing and expanding of sections, making it easier to locate and understand relevant details.
ReadyAPI 3.60.0 includes a few changes compared to the previous product version – ReadyAPI 3.59.0. For information on the changes made to other versions, see Version History.
Postman 3.1.0 Plugin Enhancements
Chai Assertions Support: ReadyAPI now supports the Chai library. This feature allows you to import assertions created with Chai in Postman Collections and convert them for use in ReadyAPI. For more details, see the Chai assertions support section.
Postman Authorization Profiles Mapping: ReadyAPI now maps Postman authorization profiles to the appropriate ReadyAPI levels. Supported types include Basic, Digest, NTLM, OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, and AWS Signature. For more details, see the Import authorization profiles section.
Importing Postman Environments: You can now import Postman environments into ReadyAPI. The system converts variables into project properties, supporting secrets and dynamic variables. For more information, refer to the Import Postman environments section.
Condition Match Enhancements
Renaming the "Matches" Operator: We renamed the "Matches" operator to "RegEx" for better clarity in Conditional Match. The updated name is reflected in the Comparison Operators table.
Renaming UI Labels for Clarity: We renamed several labels in the Conditional Match dialog to improve alignment with terminology and enhance clarity. Specifically, “Request” is now referred to as “Conditional Match” in various UI elements. For more details on the specific changes, visit the Conditional Match Overview.
Relocation of Autoconvert Boolean and Numbers Checkbox: We moved the Autoconvert boolean and numbers checkbox from the Conditional Match section in Virtual Service to the Conditional Match Configuration dialog. This relocation makes the configuration more intuitive and service-specific. Learn more about configuring specific value treatment in Conditional Match.
General Enhancements
JDK Update: We updated the JDK to version 17.0.15.
Legacy Branding Removal: We removed the legacy branding from the Load Template Page and replaced "SOAPUI" with "ReadyAPI" in the Load Test SOAK Template.
Route to Live Process Security Enhancement: We updated the encryption in the Route to Live process for enhanced security.
Library Updates: ReadyAPI 3.60.0 includes newer versions of some libraries that version 3.59.0 used. If your scripts refer to classes from Libraries Updated in ReadyAPI 3.60.0, you might need to update the scripts.
