Parasoft Virtualize

Access a complete test environment at any time and in any location. Parasoft Virtualize is an open automated service virtualization solution. It creates, deploys, and manages simulated dev/test environments. Parasoft Virtualize simulates the behavior of sevolving dependent applications which are difficult to access or configure for development and testing.

Why Virtualize?

Beyond “Shift Left”

Parasoft takes “shift left” to the next level by enabling you to test earlier and less frequently. With Parasoft’s integrated Service Virtualization, API Testing and Development Testing, you can dramatically reduce your exposure to security, performance, and reliability risks. With fewer defects injected into the software, you achieve significantly faster time to market with better-quality deliverables.

Enable Continuous Testing

Using simulated test environments, developers and testers can extensively exercise end-to-end transactions whenever they want. This enables fully automated continuous testing. This is a critical component of continuous release and delivery. With the freedom to test early and often, defects are exposed when they are fastest, easiest, and least costly to fix.

Instant Access to Complete Test Environments

Parasoft provides visualization and control of the complete system under test—including all application dependencies. With role-based access, users can review, access, and provision complex test environments. This can be done in seconds from an intuitive interface. Automated analysis of environment health helps teams proactively identify test environment issues before they compromise the accuracy of your results. Directly from this intuitive browser-based interface, a simulated test environment can be created in less than a minute. Then it is possible to immediately start defining and executing against the appropriate test environment configurations.

Open Automated Infrastructure

The Parasoft service virtualization architecture is designed for open and rapid integration with complementary infrastructure components, including:
  • Application performance monitoring
  • Service repositories
  • API/SOA management
  • ESBs
  • Model-based definitions
  • Test data mining
  • Release automation

Capture and Simulate Real System Behavior

Parasoft captures real system behavior as you test the application and converts it into a simulated test environment—delivering anytime access. Parasoft Service Virtualization captures the behavior of databases, messaging queues, middleware, mainframes, ERPs, ESBs, legacy systems, native system calls, and more.

Rapidly Model Incomplete/Unavailable Components

When dependent system components are unavailable or incomplete, Parasoft enables you to rapidly model anticipated behavior through an intuitive graphical interface. Additionally, you can automatically generate virtual assets from definition files or transaction logs.

Rapid Automated Change Control

With the rapid evolution of modern services and application dependencies, it is essential to have a fast, easy, automated way of delivering realistic test environments. Parasoft automatically assesses the impact of changes and intelligently updates existing test environments. This vastly reduces the amount of time required to achieve the integrity required for accurate results.

Easily Configure Complex Test Conditions

Virtual assets are easily extended with specific response parameters for performance, test data, and response logic. It’s simple to mimic conditions for complete testing. This includes theoretical security, concurrency, fail-over, performance, and negative scenarios. This approach allows for a broad array of test conditions to be executed without altering the core case.
