Quality and security improvements drive user satisfaction

We have many customers, but with Parasoft SOAtest, we just focus on .NET, Java, and PHP protocols and message formats. For deployment, it runs on-premise with Parasoft SOAtest. The transition from manual testing can be challenging, and it's the first time they're using automation testing with Parasoft SOAtest. For the tool itself, Parasoft SOAtest, I would rate it as great with an overall rating of 10 out of 10.

A reliable solution that provides excellent features and detects memory corruption

The run time analysis process must be improved. If we do not run with the main loop, it generates its own main and doesn’t allow developers to modify the execution sequences. The solution must provide more flexibility to the developers to manipulate the runtime analysis tools. The developer must be allowed to modify the main sequence. It will be very easy for them to test their use cases. Otherwise, Polyspace generates a random main file and executes all the functions randomly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."

"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."

"If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest."

"Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used."

"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."

"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."

"One of the most valuable features I found in Parasoft SOAtest is its ability to extend the product."

"We have seen a return on investment."

More Parasoft SOAtest pros

"The outputs are very reliable."

"Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect."

"Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool."

"Efficiency and speed are the advantages I see in Code Sonar over Polyspace Code Prover."

"When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences."

"The product detects memory corruptions."

Cons

"The summary reports could be improved."

"UI testing should be more in-depth."

"In terms of improvements for Parasoft SOAtest, some features could be added or perhaps existing areas could be improved, such as lowering prices."

"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."

"The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually."

"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."

"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."

"Reporting facilities can be better."

More Parasoft SOAtest cons

"Automation could be a challenge."

"Because we had difficulties in efficiently integrating Polyspace Code Prover into our CI toolchain, these tests are mostly run manually and only occasionally."

"Using Code Prover on large applications crashes sometimes."

"The tool has some stability issues."

"One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run."

"I'd like the data to be taken from any format."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Parasoft seems to have gotten higher with a projection that wasn't really stipulated for our company. They've done a tremendous job at negotiating those deals."

"It is an expensive product, so think carefully about whether it fits your purposes and is the right tool for you."

"They do have a confusing licensing structure."

"We are completed satisfied with Parasoft SOAtest. The ROI is more than 95%."

"The price is around $5,000 USD."

"The license price is a little expensive, but it provides a better outcome in terms of the end-to-end automation process."

"From what I understand, Parasoft SOAtest isn't the cheapest option. But it has a lot to offer."

"I think it would be a great step to decrease the price of the licenses."

"We use the paid version."

Overview

Parasoft SOAtest delivers fully integrated API and web service testing capabilities that automate end-to-end functional API testing. Streamline automated testing with advanced codeless test creation for applications with multiple interfaces (REST & SOAP APIs, microservices, databases, and more).

SOAtest reduces the risk of security breaches and performance outages by transforming functional testing artifacts into security and load equivalents. Such reuse, along with continuous monitoring of APIs for change, allows faster and more efficient testing.

Parasoft

Polyspace Code Prover is a sound static analysis tool that proves the absence of overflow, divide-by-zero, out-of-bounds array access, and certain other run-time errors in C and C++ source code. It produces results without requiring program execution, code instrumentation, or test cases. Polyspace Code Prover uses semantic analysis and abstract interpretation based on formal methods to verify software interprocedural, control, and data flow behavior. You can use it on handwritten code, generated code, or a combination of the two. Each operation is color-coded to indicate whether it is free of run-time errors, proven to fail, unreachable, or unproven.
