SOAtest Product Overview
An automated Web services testing product that allows users to verify all aspects of a Web service, from WSDL validation, to unit and functional testing of the client and server, to performance testing. SOAtest addresses key Web services and SOA development issues such as interoperability, security, change management, and scalability.
Parasoft SOAtest is the industry gold standard for ensuring secure, reliable, and compliant Service Oriented Architectures.
SOAtest was built from the ground up to support your Web services initiative and has been on the market for over four years.
SOAtest is a proven solution with clients such as: Yahoo!, Sabre, LexisNexis, IBM, and the US Government. Enterprises select
Parasoft SOAtest for its wide breadth of functionality, including four-tier WSDL validation, unit and functional testing of
the client, unit and functional testing of the server, performance testing, as well as the ability to graphically model and
test complex scenarios. SOAtest addresses key Web service issues such as interoperability, security, change management, and
scalability. SOAtest features a collaborative workflow that allows any test asset created by an engineer to be leveraged
by QA into scenario-based tests and load tests without the use of scripting! Parasoft SOAtest is also the only Web services
solution that automatically creates security penetration tests that protect Web services from threats such as SQL injections,
XPath injections, parameter fuzzing, XML bombs, and external entities. Employing SOAtest throughout the software development
lifecycle, users can prevent errors, improve quality and reliability, and accelerate the time to market for their Web service
initiatives.
SOAtest improves Web services quality throughout the software lifecycle and improves productivity across the entire team. Because of its flexible nature, SOAtest is an ideal choice for development engineers and QA professionals alike, since its unit tests can be leveraged into scenario-based tests, as well as load tests, without any additional scripting or re-inventing of the wheel. Moreover, SOAtest works as part of a comprehensive team-wide Automated Error Prevention solution that reduces delivery delays and improves the quality and security of complex, multi-language enterprise applications.
