Press Release Summary = Parasoft Extends Support for Testing Complex Web Services
and Heterogeneous SOA Environments with SOA Test 4.1
Comprehensive Solution Helps Enterprises Develop Secure, Reliable Web Services
Press Release Body = September 13, 2005 – Monrovia, Calif. – Parasoft Corporation,
leading provider of automated software error prevention solutions, announced today
the release of Parasoft SOA Test 4.1, its automated test and analysis product for
web services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations. The new
release extends support for the testing of complex web services transactions and SOA
implementations based on heterogeneous messaging and transport protocols. SOA Test
allows users to verify all aspects of a Web service with one comprehensive,
automated testing suite ensuring those services meet security, reliability,
performance and reuse objectives.
Parasoft SOA Test 4.1 adds IBM MQ, TIBCO Rendezvous, and SMTP to the list of
messaging and transport protocols it supports for testing and validating XML/SOAP
transactions, extending its support for the testing of heterogeneous SOA
environments. The release provides for the functional and load testing of
Enterprise Java Beans (EJB’s), allowing EJB’s to be tested directly through their
remote interfaces without having to go through web or web service interfaces. To
better enable the configuration of test scenarios that map to complex use case
requirements, SOA Test 4.1 provides support for “if/else” and “do while” logic flow
within its auto-generated test suites and provides extended control of
parameterization of test variables and reference data sources.
“As enterprises extend their implementations of web services and SOA, their testing
and validation of those services requires the ability to generate test scenarios
that fully represent the complexity of the business transactions to be enacted by
them and the heterogeneous infrastructures of messaging and transport protocols they
will be based on. This is a major challenge,” said Wayne Ariola, Vice President of
Corporate Development at Parasoft. “We continue to extend the capabilities of SOA
Test to provide organizations with the support and automation they need to validate
their web services for the security, reliability and performance that is required of
them.” accomplishes that goal, offering automated unit testing, penetration testing,
scenario testing, load and performance testing, and regression testing to make sure
each of the individual components of the Web service are operating the way you would
expect.”
SOA Test is an automated suite of test and analysis tools that provide organizations
deploying Web services or SOAs with the means to ensure those deployments are
secure, reliable and compliant. SOA Test provides a breadth of functionality
including four-tier WSDL validation, unit and functional testing of the client, unit
and functional testing of the server, performance testing, the graphical modeling
and test of complex scenarios, penetration testing for security validation and full
regression testing. SOA Test addresses key Web service issues such as
interoperability, security, compliance, change management, and scalability.
Availability
SOA Test 4.1 is available for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux and Solaris. Pricing
starts at $3,995.
