Challenges of Testing Modern Applications
Need to test everything, from mainframes to
iPhones
Testing must happen in parallel with development
Resources are constrained
Copyright © 1996-2014 Parasoft 44
Enterprise applications under test (AUT) are increasingly dependent on interconnected
Dependent Applications are Hard to Access
Enterprise-based data and applications
Cloud-based apps and data

Parasoft surveys show that
Access to Other Applications Amplifies the Problem
* On Average
Parasoft’s research concluded with the stunning finding that 50% of test plans are not completed
75% of enterprises say that they cannot access dependent applications for testing
Testing modern applications requires access to dependent systems* 30
of these 30 are readily accessible for testing*6

Parasoft research shows that enterprise applications require
access to an average of 30 other applications

Access to connected applications is restrictedOn average, enterprises cannot easily access 80% of connected applications (24 out of 30)

Should we be confident in enterprise applications that are only 50% tested?

How Do We Increase Testing Scope and Frequency?
Today, complexity of networked applications, including the array of different APIs and system dependencies, renders the “more hardware” approach obsolete
HTTP
JMS
SOAP
REST
RSSCICS
MQ
SAP
EDI
JSON
In the past, more hardware and more test lab capacity solved the problem
Copyright © 1996-2014 Parasoft 1010
Service Virtualization Solves the Problem
“Service Virtualization” creates simulated test environments that are 100% complete and accurate
Application testing can happen any time and anywhere without adding additional test environment hardware
Mainframe transactions Databases calls
Message Queues and ESBs API Interactions
Virtualized

Key Benefits to Industries/Verticals
Enables access to multiple networked internal and partner applications
Telco and Communications
Retail
Enables rapid prototyping with immediate testing for near-real-time feedback loops
UtilitiesAllows value-chain partners to test as-yet-unimplemented APIs for certified cross-partner integrations
Virtualizes legacy mainframe behaviors, allowing for safe partner integration
