Easy to use and understand with multiple types of testing on offer
It is very easy to understand. We can do a lot with it. Since this is a commercial tool, we can have more functionality in place. It covers more things like ADI and APIs, et cetera. Everything is in one place, right there, so you don't need to go anywhere. With one single tool, you have everything you need. You can even test the UI as well. The initial setup is very easy. There is nice functionality under the Service Virtualization feature. The solution is stable. Technical support is helpful. This product easily scales. Parasoft actually provides very extensive coverage. For example, in SAP applications, we have various EDIs, and integrated development. That also is supported by Parasoft. In the market, we don't have many of the tools there to test those things. It's nice to be able to with this product.
