Case Study: Cisco achieves consistent, cross-platform API testing and faster partner integration with SmartBear ReadyAPI Test

Cisco - Customer Case Study

Cisco, the world’s largest networking company, needed a consistent, cross-platform way to test the Web Services that power its Smart Services program. Engineering teams and partners were transitioning from SOAP to REST, working across Windows, Mac, and Linux, and required a single, easy-to-learn tool to automate functional and compliance tests, generate performance metrics, and streamline partner onboarding.

Cisco adopted SmartBear ReadyAPI Test (with ReadyAPI Performance for load testing), enabling rapid WSDL import, unified SOAP/REST testing, reusable SoapUI sample projects for partners, and end-to-end performance reporting. About 50+ internal developers and testers now use the solution, which improved collaboration, reduced partner development effort, allowed proactive performance fixes, helped meet SLAs, and is being recommended for broader rollout across Cisco.
