What differentiates Parasoft Continuous Quality Suite from other similar products?

Several aspects, first is protocol support. Other competitors focused only on web services, while Parasoft opened up the playing field to by utilizing nearly anything you could throw a jar driver at. Ease of use: This comes in two forms, first is driver setup, add jars, reload, go to work. Second is just using their capabilities. For example, given the work flow of static, dynamic, data enriched internally, data enriched externally, to pure engineered data solution. SOAtest and Virtualize could be anywhere within that spectrum. Other vendors had static, and parts of dynamic. This allowed us to easily build solution to fit the need.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of use, I pop it open, toss in some traffic, add data source if needed, and go to town. Of course that is an over simplification. It really depends on the need at hand, but for the 80/20, aspect of problems it really shines in the ability to record traffic and start doing something with it, either testing or virtualizing. My forte is Service Virtualization. SOAtest is easy, once hooked up in the proxy. My historical protocol easel has been WireShark and Fiddler. Virtualize offers some native support virtualizing from pcap files depending upon the protocol. Fiddler is my favorite traffic editor since I can pre edit requests before intake.

What do you dislike most about this product?

That not more dev and test folks aren't using it. Pay to play keeps it out of the view of most folks who need it, or barrier of procurement. When licensed it, Community Edition did not exist yet. CE doesn't include the features that really differentiate the paid version from the competition. It has been several years since I have tried CE, so maybe that has changed. JDBC Virtualization using JDBC - ODBDC Proxy: It is a complex solution, I trust the tool can do it, however we were not able to make a Parasoft native solution in this space. Though, we were able to use Parasoft and other internal tooling to build a compelling overall solution.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Have an Architect, Systems Engineer, Dev Lead, Test Lead, Business Analyst, and DBA, who are subject matter experts. The solution may exist elsewhere in the system. Dream BIG! Figure out your problems, even the big scary ones that seem unsolvable. When considering Parasoft we needed total orchestration and virtualization of HTTP( SOAP,REST), multi platform SQL, multi platform MQ, custom TN3270, and Data Enrichment. The tool could functionally do 3270, though protocol customizations would require additional professional services to implement. With all of the rich capabilities, we were able to build a much better solution else where.
