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 3.54.0 includes a few changes compared to the previous version of the product – ReadyAPI 3.53.0.

Conditional Match

  • We are introducing Conditional Match, a new dispatch style setting within ReadyAPI's Virtualization module. This feature offers enhanced control over how virtual services respond to requests, facilitating more realistic and dynamic testing scenarios. Learn more about Conditional Match here.

Functionality Improvements

  • ReadyAPI now allows fetching Avro/Protobuf key schema from a file.

  • We added support for new custom Kafka test step properties:

    • connectionSettings

    • data

    • channel

    • endpoint

    • schemas

  • We have updated Swagger Compliance Assertion for OAS 3.1.

  • We have introduced Property Expansion support for the MQTT plugin.

Integration Enhancements

  • We added support for Client ID and Client Secret from SLM On-premise License Server 2.0 to the Maven integration when using SLM on-premise.

Plugin Updates

  • Client credentials for the SLM on-premise license server (version 2.0 or later) are now supported in both Jenkins Plugin version 1.11.0 and Azure Plugin version 2.1.8.

  • We have released version 1.6.6 of the ready-mqtt-plugin.

General Updates

  • ReadyAPI 3.54.0 includes newer versions of some libraries that version 3.53.0 used. If your scripts refer to classes from these libraries, you might need to update the scripts.

  • We updated the JDK to version 17.0.11.

Known Issues

  • We have identified a bug in TestRunner when using the -i argument, which commands the runner to enable UI components via the UISupport class in your tests. This argument currently fails to initialize a license and requires a fix. Please refrain from using the -i argument until we confirm the issue has been resolved.

Please see here for a list of fixes included in this patch.
