Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 Continues its Evolution as the Premier Quality
Solution to Ensure Secure, Reliable, And Compliant Service Oriented
Architectures
Software Test & Performance
MONROVIA, Calif. - -Parasoft Corporation, the leading provider of automated solutions and
infrastructure services that improve software quality and the
development process, today announced the availability of Parasoft
SOAtest 5.5. Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 adds new testing capabilities to its
comprehensive and collaborative test suite and is designed specifically
to increase productivity and efficiency for development teams working in
complex Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), including those working in
the Microsoft .NET environment.
Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 is the first SOA testing solution to offer full
capabilities for multi-protocol environments, including Windows
Communication Foundation (WCF). The latest in a series of platform
support capabilities, Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 allows .NET developers to
exercise messages in multiple protocols as well as the proprietary
Microsoft standards. Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 integrates fully with
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System for Software Testers, allowing
developers to share, manage and execute Parasoft SOAtest projects,
receiving results directly into Microsoft Visual Studio.
"We've been customers of Parasoft SOAtest for many years now and have
seen the product evolve to include features and flexibility to help
support AOL's needs," stated Hemadri Dasari, Principle Software QA
Engineer of AOL. "Parasoft SOAtest is a critical component to our SOA
lifecycle to enforce quality as a process and not a task."
"The development of secure and reliable SOA environments requires test
standards that are able to run on a host of different environments and
platforms," states Melinda Ballou, program director for the Application
Life-Cycle Management (ALM) service at IDC, a global research advisory
firm headquartered in Framingham, Mass. "Visibility into and analysis of
unique test environments allows for testing of complex SOA components
within the context of the rich ecosystem in which they reside, promoting
developer productivity and enabling quality control."
The Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 release also delivers a highly automated
capability to create intelligent stubs. The intelligent stubs emulate
the behavior of a running system, allowing the development organization
to test services in context of an application's actual behavior and not
the live running system. This saves tremendous time and resources.
"Microsoft .NET WCF provides a rich set of capabilities based on WS-*
standards and certain proprietary bindings," said Rami Jaamour, SOA
Solutions Manager of Parasoft Corporation. "Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 enables
our customers to test WCF services natively, and in a way that is
consistent with the Microsoft platform they have and are familiar with.
Furthermore, I have seen many organizations suffer from loss of
productivity when multiple teams work on integrated systems and wait on
each other on making changes in the components that each team owns. Our
reusable stubs allow for the execution of end-to-end business scenarios
without the presence of all the dependent services, and thus allows
distributed teams and business partners to collaborate efficiently."
Availability
Parasoft SOAtest is available for Windows, Linux and Solaris.
