Parasoft SOAtest is "a comprehensive testing and analysis tool suite for tailored to the unique testing and validation needs of Service Oriented Architectures."[1] It helps testers test the message layer functionality of their services by automating their testing and supports numerous transport protocols including: HTTP 1.0, HTTP/1.1, JMS, MQ, RMI, SMTP, TIBCO, .NET WCF HTTP, .NET WCF TCP. Basic testing functionality include static analysis through WSDL testing, functional unit testing, regression testing, security testing, and load testing. Parasoft SOAtest introduced application behavior virtualization, which creates copies of applications or back-end systems that are otherwise difficult to access or exercise during development and testing.[2] Application behavior virtualization (also known as [Service Virtualization] was extended and is now available in Parasoft Virtualize.[3] SOAtest is used by companies such as Sabre, Lufthansa Cargo AG, Siemens AG, MedicAlert, and AOL[4]
Industry recognition
SOAtest won the SOA World 2007 Reader's Choice Award for Best Web Services Testing Tool.[5]
InfoWorld recognized SOAtest as the best overall solution for SOA testing: "SOAtest handles testing coming and going, and it has an overall feel of maturity missing from several of the other tools." [6]
