Service virtualization solutions are commonly applied in the following contexts:

SERVICE VIRTUALIZATION

Perform complete and comprehensive testing of your application early and often, by simulating back-end systems that are unavailable, expensive to access, or out of your control.

PERFORMANCE TESTING

Shift-left performance testing by simulating the SLAs of your dependent systems, unblocking yourself from the limited availability of your physical performance test environment.

CONTINUOUS TESTING

Get ahead of the competition by accelerating the testing phase of your Continuous Delivery pipeline and automate the feedback loop with Continuous Testing, to assess your release readiness.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT

Instead of scaling additional hardware for hundreds of new test silos, leverage service virtualization to dynamically deployand-destroy virtual test environments.

SERVICE VIRTUALIZATION WITH PARASOFT

In order to test your complete application, you can use service virtualization to simulate services that are out of your control (APIs, systems owned by other teams, systems that are under development, etc.), which must be available for testing. Parasoft Virtualize uniquely simplifies the process of creating the virtual assets that power service virtualization, by creating proxies.

Proxies are listeners that stand between the application and the back-end systems. They monitor communication between the application and its dependencies (which you often wouldn’t have any visibility into), so Virtualize can automatically analyze the traffic files to understand patterns, link requests to responses, interpret schemas, abstract data, and so on.

With this automation, the process of building a virtual service is easy, and you can be confident that it will carry with it all the logic required to support your test case. You can then deploy these virtual services to a virtual server, and consume them just like you would regular services.

LEVERAGING THE PARASOFT CONTINUOUS TESTING PLATFORM

Usually an application doesn’t require just one virtual service – it requires many virtual services, and coordinating the configuration of those virtual services would be complex without the Parasoft Continuous Testing Platform. CTP enables you to configure multiple virtual services into an environment bundle, along with test cases and test data. With the integrated dashboard for managing and maintaining those virtual services, you can understand your asset inventory and control which services are deployed. Through its browser interface or through your Continuous Integration systems, the Parasoft Continuous Testing Platform makes it easy to access the right environment at the right time.

SOAtest efficiently transforms your existing test artifacts into security and performance tests, to increase re-usability and reduce redundancy, all while building a foundation of automated tests that can be executed as part of Continuous Integration and DevOps pipelines.

Use SOAtest to reduce test maintainability problems by proactively adjusting your tests as APIs change, and integrate SOAtest into your Continuous Delivery pipeline to ensure that your applications have an acceptable level of risk. Security and load/performance testing are often left to the end of the development cycle, but present the greatest risk to delayed releases. Integrate this testing earlier into your SDLC to reduce corporate risks associated with performance outages and security breaches.

Reduce the cost of developing high-quality software, without sacrificing time-to-market:

AGILE

Accelerate the feedback process required in Agile methodology, by associating test cases with work items and integrating test results with your requirements and issue management systems, such as Jira, to continuously validate your level of risk.

TEST QUALITY

Increase test productivity by simplifying initial test creation. Rapidly craft rich end-to-end test scenarios, regardless of the technology, and string test scenarios together with data to constantly validate your application.

MODERN TEST ENVIRONMENTS

Execute your tests and view results within the context of the test environment, while controlling the behavior of constrained dependencies to ensure predictability, leveraging service virtualization.

Parasoft Development Testing Platform (DTP) eliminates the business risks of faulty software by constantly applying software quality practices throughout the software development process (SDLC). Parasoft DTP enables your software quality effort to shift left – by providing a platform that provides integrated risk measurement of project teams and automatic defect prevention. Thanks to its integration similar to any software development environment, you can extract and monitor data from any SDLC infrastructure system, including open source codes and third-party test tools.

Insure++ is a runtime memory analysis and error-detection tool for C and C++, that automatically identifies a variety of di cult-to-find programming, memory-access, and security errors, along with potential defects and ine ciencies in memory usage. During testing, Insure++ checks all types of memory references, including those to static (global), stack, and shared memory — both in the user’s code and in third-party libraries.

Insure++ modes of use

Insure++’s memory analysis capabilities in are based on patented source instrumentation algorithms. Source-code instrumentation enables Insure++ to detect more error types than other memory-error detection technologies, and also provides complete information indicating the root causes of the errors found, using a full database of program elements and memory structures. There are two ways to use Insure++ for memory analysis and error detection: 

SOURCE INSTRUMENTATION MODE, The first and most detailed analysis is achieved with full source-code instrumentation. This requires that application sources be compiled and linked with Insure++, which generates its own instrumented files that are passed to the actual compiler.

LINK MODE, Without source code instrumentation, by linking your application object code and libraries with Insure++, the tool can “spy” on the kernel/application program interface to detect errors such as leaks, bad memory references, standard API usage errors, and so on.

MEMORY DEBUGGING WITH PARASOFT INSURE++

Target Insure++’s patented instrumentation to pinpoint real memory issues and get immediate visibility at runtime. Identify memory issues both within your codebase and caused by external libraries, automatically tracking and monitoring all threads and processes within the application to quickly find algorithmic anomalies.

At compile time, use Insure++ to identify deviations from C/C++ standards that may lead to memory leaks or application instability.

RUNTIME MEMORY DEBUGGING

Errors detected include:

• Corrupted heap and stack memory
• Use of uninitialized variables and objects
• Array and string bounds errors on heap and stack
• Use of dangling, NULL, and uninitialized pointers
• All types of memory allocation and free errors or mismatches
• All types of memory leaks
• Type mismatches in global declarations, pointers, and function calls

COMPILE-TIME ANALYSIS

Errors detected include:

• Cast of pointer loses precision
• Mismatch in format specification
• Mismatch in argument type
• Code is not evaluated, has no effect, or is unreachable
• Undefined identifier • Variable declared, but never used
• Returning pointer to local variable
• Function returns inconsistent value
• Unused variables

TOTAL COVERAGE ANALYSIS (PARASOFT TCA®)

DYNAMIC MEMORY VISUALIZATION (PARASOFT INUSE®)

Insure++ visualizes how an application uses memory, providing a graphical view of all memory allocations over time, with specific visibility into overall heap usage, block allocations, possible outstanding leaks, and so on.

While your application is running, get real-time visibility into:

• How your application is utilizing memory
• Memory problems as they appear, and the impact of those problems on memory
• Details of heap usage, block allocations, free memory, and frequency of memory access over time
• Comparisons with historical data to view the outcomes of tuning your application’s use of memory
