We use Parasoft SOAtest for API testing and service virtualization with responder setup. Service virtualization is very helpful in our testing. When any downstream system is not available or we are not able to replicate the exact error in the real world, we virtualize and use the virtualized APIs for those purposes.

QA Lead at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

We have a payment switch, so we handle many message protocols such as ISO 8583 and SOAP. Our focus isn't much on GUI testing. Mainly, we concentrate on the transactions going to the bank and back to the terminal, heavily utilizing the part of the system that requires a JBoss license.

The most common use case for my customers implementing Parasoft SOAtest is that they want to increase the quality of the application.

Parasoft SOAtest provides end-to-end testing capabilities to my customers because they have five applications, and they convert from manual testing to automation testing.
