Parasoft intros integrated platform for SW testing

MONROVIA, USA: Parasoft Corporation, provider of automated solutions that improve software quality and the development process has announced the release of Parasoft Test.

According to the press release, Parasoft Test is a new platform for integrating testing throughout all stages of the software development lifecycle.

In addition to delivering comprehensive set of 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 added the release.

"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," added Kolawa.

"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 Test brings a new level of support for collaborative development and testing of complex heterogeneous applications as well as a new level of 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.
