When Parasoft's SOAPtest was originally released it primarily supported the testing of Web Services implemented with SOAP and/or WSDL. Now, though, the product supports the many messaging and transport protocols being utilized in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) implementations. Accordingly, the company yesterday announced it will henceforth be named Parasoft SOA Test.

"The name SOA Test more accurately reflects the capabilities of the solution," said Wayne Ariola (pictured talking with SYS-CON.TV), Parasoft Vice President of Corporate Development.

SOA Test is an automated suite of test and analysis tools that provide organizations deploying Web services or SOAs with the means to ensure those deployments are secure, reliable and compliant. It provides a breadth of functionality including four-tier WSDL validation, unit and functional testing of the client, unit and functional testing of the server, security penetration testing, regression testing, performance testing, and the ability to graphically model and test complex scenarios.

"SOA Test addresses key issues surrounding SOA such as interoperability, governance, security, compliance, change management, and scalability," Ariola added.

The product has been extended to support the broad range of messaging and transport protocols being used to support Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). In addition to services that are implemented with SOAP and WSDL, SOA Test supports JMS, RMI, HTTP, TCP/IP, JDBC and other messaging and transport protocols.

In short, says Ariola, SOA Test delivers a proven platform for delivering secure, reliable, compliant services across multiple messaging and transport protocols.

This is a smart move by Parasoft. With the name SOAPtest, the implication was that the tool's only job is identifying and diagnosing problems in SOAP messages. But anyone who uses SOAPtest 4.0 knows it delivers comprehensive regression, unit, and security testing for Web services and Web service client applications, too.
