Case Study: Healthcare Data Solutions achieves 80% faster API test setup and on-time releases with SmartBear SoapUI Pro (ReadyAPI)

Healthcare Data Solutions Reduces API Test Set-Up Time More Than 80% with SmartBear SoapUI Pro

Healthcare Data Solutions (HDS), now part of IMS Health, provides continuously verified healthcare data to help companies target providers, partners and organizations across the healthcare ecosystem. HDS’s APIs are central to delivering that data, but the QA team faced slow, manual API testing—setting up tests could take two to three days and once even delayed a release by a fiscal quarter—so the team needed a data-driven, easy-to-use testing solution that didn’t require scripting and could capture response data for comparisons.

HDS adopted SmartBear’s SoapUI Pro and the ReadyAPI platform to centralize workspaces, automate data-driven tests and record API traffic. The change cut initial test setup from three days to half a day (an 80% reduction), enabled fast regression testing across environments, improved test coverage visibility for management, sped feedback to developers, and helped HDS meet on-time delivery goals while lowering testing costs.
