During software testing you are often constrained by limited access to real data and live services in your test environment. The Parasoft service virtualization tool lets you create simulated equivalents that behave just like the real thing. Go beyond basic mocking and stubbing to create a more robust simulation for APIs and services. Deploy a “digital twin” of your test environment to use as a sandbox for partner development or as a virtual endpoint for internal testing. Virtualize goes beyond other service virtualization solutions with its integration with the Parasoft Continuous Testing Platform, which provides an intuitive browser-based interface for collaboration and coordination of your virtual services. You can bundle virtual assets and test cases into a virtual test environment, giving you full control over your test environment and the ability to test earlier and more completely. Testing is already hard, and it’s even harder when you can’t access components that are out of your control because systems are still evolving, difficult to access, difficult to scale, or difficult to configure. Parasoft Virtualize enables testers and developers to simulate services or data when access is limited or unreliable. Increase testing efficiency with service virtualization. » Remove test constraints. » Improve product quality. » Decrease time-to-market. » Reduce testing costs. ## Parasoft Virtualize Reviews ### 1. Parasoft Virtualize is a valuable tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott P. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** User interface and features. The support from Parasoft has been amazing both during the POC and with project migration efforts and support issues. Some of the features which were missed during our POC were actually added by the time we purchased the tool a few months later. It is rare to find a vendor that listens AND implements customer suggestions. **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** Email step configuration Generate multiple responses for same request/transaction Request Data Manager and Request Data Copier **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** We migrated from CA DevTest to Virtualize to save costs. Overall there was very little missing functionality and we were able to fully convert all of our existings services over from DevTest to Virtualize. ### 2. Its a perfect choice to virtualize your APIs. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Satnam S. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** Parasoft provides wide range of features most important feature is database support which makes sandbox development of APIs dynamic. **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** While working, i found issue when we moving responder from one place to another so it converted the type of the responder. Like "Input Request" converted to "Input Request Header" **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its best option to adopt when API Contract is ready but backend services are not ready. So prior to this UI team/other team get blocked due to the unavailability of backend services. But now Parasoft helps us to Virtualize the API, and Frontend and Backend teams can work parallelly. ### 3. Great customer support service to resolve impediments **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Monica D. | Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** Easy import of the yaml files and auto generated api resources ready to use, datarepos configurations is easy to do and lot of tool options to achieve the task **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** More documentation and end to end tutorials on how to develope rest api mocks, if those are available readily when we get started with the tool. that'd be great. **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are into developing mocks for several projects. this is helping us in business reviews and presentations, also acting as a placeholder for our UI applications. ### 4. One Solution of E2E Testing **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anand T. | Lead Software Test Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** Ease to build and manage virtual services using virtualize IDE. A single location to keep track of all information about virtualized services, integrated test data management, and additional tools to view and manage incoming and outgoing traffic. **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** overall I am satisfied with the tools and services but would like to see a few enhancements like the ease to view changes while reviewing (git), and license support on the cloud (how to renew licenses without signing a new contract for regular maintenance?) **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** With Parasoft virtualized now, we can perform a full end-to-end test without worrying about external partner connectivity. This gives us leverage to perform testing in lower environments and manage the complex business logic and test data required for virtual services to behave just like the real services. ### 5. Parasoft Virtualize is a Masterpiece **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2022 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** Well, I have been using this tool for the last 2 years and this is helping us in all the critical scenarios we have. Not only that also it is helping us to do our customized scripting whenever required. **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** Well, few features like Magic String capabilities are not available, I am surely looking for such soon which will increase our productivity. **Recommendations to others considering Parasoft Virtualize:** Great tool, just a few tweaking and helps to sort a lot of challenges. **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** Firstly the components which are not ready along with Parameterized values, we can create such Services also putting Data, and it is just mimic of or real services which are helping testers along with the client for a positive approach. ### 6. Amazing product, create endpoints with ease **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emiel d. | Zelfstandige, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2022 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** We have 2 environments with Virtualize: 1. Frontend HTML served by endpoints accessible by our 'acceptance' employees who will accept software companies. We build Virtualize endpoints with HTML pages, which from there we control Parasoft server as backend (like a website), so only administrators work at the tests in Virtualize and 'users' from the webpage. The magical stuff happens in the backend, sending REST requests, handling responses and writing data to the repository, writing responses to the server hard drive as files, creating new variables like GUID and datetimes and 'tokens' and results are written to the repository and showed in the frontend! 2. Simulator of Healthcare data sources. Endpoints serving HL7 SOAP XML messages. Some incoming data we need to save in a Postgresql DB to serve later in outgoing messages. Some XML incoming messages we send to other servers to validate XML messages. It's really easy to set up endpoints, create a response test, set up the body like whatever you want. With your mouse, you drag the project to the servers and the endpoint is already live! **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** Something difficult to find a good solution, manuals are sometimes professionally written by experts. **Recommendations to others considering Parasoft Virtualize:** It's an amazing product, it needs some time to learn but you always get support **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** On the fly changes and customizable, flexible and almost everything is possible with custom tools, easy to copy projects, change and commit with SVN and to share with others users ### 7. Does it all with ease! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan P. | Senior Information Security Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** My background is systems engineering, and network protocol analysis, so this tool sings to me, as I know when, where, and how to solve problems with this tool. First off is protocol and data structure support. Most scenarios were drop in the driver jars and update the transport config in a UI tab. We have done IBM MQ, Rabbit MQ, JMS, SOAP (XML), REST(JSON/XML). Synchronous, Asynchronous, time based, you name it. Even complex MQ single request with multi-response. Blew away our app dev team how easy it was to simulate complex time-based systems. I was asked, why don't we use this tool in Production? Advice is though awesome, don't use it as a stop gap to build things in production. Did I mention its easy? So many ways to solve problems, you can load a wsdl/swagger, etc. You can record traffic, or even build services out from ground up. It has built in and extensible data support, from an in-memory table, to csv, to NoSQL data repository. Has even newer test data management capabilities which looked awesome, though we did not buy that add on. Environment Manager is awesome ability to put the environment configuration control in front of the test team. **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** Not really the tools fault, but there were a couple old technologies that were problematic 30-60yr old. JDBC Virtualization works well against modern DB during POC and training, however, we had an older database protocol in our environment that was challenging to get to work. We ended up using a tailored test data management tool from that same provider as the db. We even experimented with reverse engineering a proprietary TN3270 protocol but did a cost benefit analysis and instead virtualized at another layer, which was way easier. **Recommendations to others considering Parasoft Virtualize:** Support is awesome. Could usually get to a live support person same day, or next day. Which is amazing. Their support knows the tool inside out and I was always able to show them my processes, and they would provide feedback immediately, or following day. As bonus, during our POC, we had a special request for MQ configuration, and they were able to provide custom build next day. I mean who does that these days. Parasoft is truly master of their domain. **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our initial problem was broad spectrum data alignment and time based eventing and response across 10-12 interfaces. Previous approach of replicating non sensitive production data yielded inconsistent results. Prior to the tool the test strategy would be to poke around at data sets until found a scenario that worked. Which rarely worked, and if did, wouldn't work the next day. By recording a day’s worth of data and customizing in desired scenarios and cloning in multiple highly desirable scenarios we could now test consistently and continually. Our internal reference was we now had a "Groundhogs Day" environment. As a side note, early automation test efforts, it would take about 4 hours to completely fabricate a scenario by hand across all interfaces and events. Now with the tooling, it is just automatic. **Official Response from David Vano:** > Ryan - Thank you so much for your continued support. We sincerely appreciate you! ### 8.

Huge benefits! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Airlines/Aviation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2022 **What do you like best about Parasoft Virtualize?** The thick client helped us set up our environments seamlessly and implement our testing solutions for our development teams on the fly. The ability to replicate manual processes and ensure full coverage of environments. **What do you dislike about Parasoft Virtualize?** Out-of-the-box settings were a bit off. We did have to do some self-tuning. It would be nice to have installed or had a wizard walk us through the Java JVM settings as part of the main install media. **What problems is Parasoft Virtualize solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it for third-party web services and virtualizing back-end processes kicked off by our front line using our homebrewed solutions. This benefits us by virtualizing our manual processes and ensuring testing is "end-to-end" simulated, without compromise. ### 10.
