SOAtest is used for service testing; composite application testing; Web application testing (RIA testing, AJAX testing); integration testing; service virtualization and emulation.
Parasoft SOA Quality Solution's unique multi-layer approach delivers a quality workflow that addresses the architecture and prevents errors that can erode confidence in your SOA.
SOAtest is available in the following editions:
Professional Edition
An Eclipse based tool suite that enables developers/testers to perform a wide range of tests on all forms of messaging and integration layers. Additionally, problems identified by Server Edition tests can be imported into the GUI for review/repair. The Professional edition is intended to be installed and licensed at the developer and tester desktop level
Architect Edition
Includes the Professional Edition functionality, and adds the RuleWizard module, which enables the creation of custom governance rules using a graphical interface. The Architect Edition is intended for use by an architect or the individual responsible for establishing governance standards for the organization.
Server Edition
Includes the Architect Edition functionality, and adds extensive Web, SOA and JUnit Load testing facilities . The provided command-line interface allows the integration of regression tests into an automated daily process. Results are written to customizable reports, which can be easily accessed by team members and automatically e-mailed to designated recipients. Additionally, developers and QA can import Server Edition test results into the desktop GUI for review/repair.
The Server Edition also provides:
The Team Configuration Manager (TCM) module: Enables centralized administration and sharing of governance standards/rule sets, and test results. TCM is designed for project teams that want to ensure consistency in test practices across the SDLC. When TCM is implemented team-wide, the architect/lead developer can configure and upload standard team-wide test settings/configurations/files, then TCM will automatically share them across all team SOAtest installations. TCM may be installed and run on any supported computer system (e.g. one of the developers' workstations, the server hosting a Parasoft Server Edition product, or an independent system).
