We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest.""They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic.""The solution is scalable.""Automatic testing is the most valuable feature.""Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used.""We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios.""Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization.""We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product."

"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.""Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool.""The product detects memory corruptions.""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.""The outputs are very reliable."

Cons
"Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu.""Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times.""The summary reports could be improved.""The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually.""From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements.""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.""The performance could be a bit better."

More Parasoft SOAtest Cons →

"The tool has some stability issues.""I'd like the data to be taken from any format.""One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run.""Automation could be a challenge.""Using Code Prover on large applications crashes sometimes."

    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.

    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.
