Case Study: Prime Therapeutics cuts Web Services testing time from 6 hours to 20 seconds with SmartBear ReadyAPI Test

Prime Therapeutics Leverages SoapUI Pro to Fully Automate and Accelerate Web Services Testing

Prime Therapeutics, a St. Paul–based pharmacy benefits manager serving nearly 20 million people, relies on internal Web Services to execute critical business processes for health plans, employers and government programs. As Web Services development increased, Prime needed to accelerate and fully automate testing so updates could be deployed quickly and reliably; their previous manual and scripted approaches were slow, error-prone and difficult to maintain.

Prime adopted SmartBear ReadyAPI Test, whose intuitive GUI, out‑of‑the‑box data-driven testing (Excel integration) and built‑in scripting eliminated the need for lengthy custom coding and extensive training. Testers were productive after one‑hour sessions, root causes are identified faster, and the company cut a six‑hour manual test cycle down to about 20 seconds—reducing costs and enabling faster rollout of Web Services updates.
