Features Added to ReadyAPI 3.48.0
Important Notice for ReadyAPI Customers
Starting from ReadyAPI 3.62.0, VirtServer 3.29.0, and TestEngine 1.34.0, SmartBear Product Family has fully deprecated file-based licenses and transitioned to the ID-based SmartBear License Management (SLM) system. Any customers still using file-based licenses must complete their migration to SLM by September 30, 2025.
From October 1, 2025, existing and activated file-based licenses will continue to work for some time. However, SmartBear will no longer generate new file-based licenses or support activation and deactivation of file-based licenses in ReadyAPI, VirtServer, or TestEngine. All new and updated licenses are now issued in SLM only.
All technical support for file-based licenses has now ceased, and SmartBear no longer maintains the file-based licensing system. Any access or service issues will result in service disruptions that we will not be able to restore.
If you have not completed the process of migrating, 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 SmartBear Support, who are standing by to help.
For further information and timelines, refer to the File-Based License End-of-Life Policy page.
ReadyAPI 3.48.0 includes a few changes compared to the previous product version – ReadyAPI 3.47.0. For information on the changes made to other versions, see Version History.
Facilitated H2 Migration
We introduced a migration tool enabling users to smoothly transition to the latest version of the H2 database. For more details, refer to the H2 Migration page.
ReadyAPI Feature Enhancement
Added SSL support for AMQP.
Integrated JUnit 5 dependencies into the ReadyAPI project, allowing the creation of new tests using the latest JUnit version.
Optimized the authentication algorithm of automated scripts by extending the default time from 5000ms to 20000ms. Additionally, we added 5-second intervals to monitor authorization progress, enhancing the user experience and execution times of automated authorization.
Improvements
A warning is now displayed when deleting methods in ReadyAPI. It alerts users if the method they’re deleting is being used by any test steps.
Users can no longer delete a request if it’s used by any existing test step. To delete such a request, it is required to modify test steps.
In instances where ReadyAPI was unable to import a test step due to a missing request, a warning was previously shown separately for each test step. We have introduced an "OK to all" function, allowing users to close just one popup window for potentially many with larger projects.
