Parasoft Corporation, a provider of automated solutions that improve software quality and the development process, announced the release of Parasoft Test. Parasoft Test is a new platform for integrating testing throughout all stages of the software development lifecycle.

In addition to delivering capabilities for Java, C, C++, .NET, SOA, Web, Cloud, and message/protocol testing, Parasoft Test also provides task management and peer code review capabilities that support any programming language.
Parasoft Test brings new support for collaborative development and testing of complex heterogeneous applications as well as new integration and collaboration across existing Parasoft products. It was developed in response to the rising number of teams leveraging multiple automated testing techniques together in order to release applications more rapidly, with greater confidence.
“It’s becoming quite common for developers to perform static analysis and unit testing on the code, deploy it locally, then want to immediately start sending messages to it and checking that it responds correctly,” explained Adam Kolawa, Parasoft CEO. “This release really streamlines that workflow…plus it adds new levels of visibility. As an end-to-end test scenario executes, teams can not only monitor how the transaction passes through services, web interfaces, ESBs, and databases, but also see which classes are covered and what runtime errors occur during execution. This end-to-end visibility is essential for determining whether complex transactions really work as expected, then for ensuring that they continue to function properly as the application evolves.”
“More iterative or Agile development practices require greater quality process diligence as well as pervasive access to solutions that consistently exercise the code and application,” said Wayne Ariola, VP of Strategy for Parasoft. “Parasoft Test was designed so that teams can rapidly deliver on business objectives while incrementally improving the overall software development lifecycle.”
Parasoft SOAtest 9 and Parasoft Jtest 9—which are also released today—are the flagship Parasoft products seamlessly integrated into the Parasoft Test framework.
