What do you like best about Stoplight?

It's a great collaborative tool for front and back end developers and testers. We use swagger as the main contract to define back end services and models, so it allows us to quickly get a spec prior to development. We find that the editor really simplifies swagger management and history. We also really like the testing capabilities so that backend engineers are encouraged to write integration tests as part of their development and save these so that we can run tests through CI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Stoplight?

The product has been evolving, so some features have been fluctuating and changing, but the core features seem to have settled. We are looking forward to the Github integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Stoplight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collaborative swagger contract editing and Integration testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
