Services are easily built within minutes and not days

What is most valuable?

1. Services are easily built within minutes and not days

2. Easily customizable for your needs

3. Capability to dynamically parametrize data from Excel

How has it helped my organization?

One key feature of using SOAtest tool is that it provided us early entry in testing cycle without any services. SOAtest provided a solution of testing codes and integrated services before any solid application is developed.

What needs improvement?

Work file [tst] gradually increases in size due to saving or updates of workspace. I can see a major improvement in that.

We have used it for validating, testing and debugging for more than 200 Java applications

Parasoft SOATest is the greatest tool I have ever used for testing and debugging code. We have used it for validating, testing and debugging for more than 200 Java applications in our Test Software Department. The tool is very rich in features, including setting and configuring for our customization coding standard. We can also configure it to validate and test for selected applications at a specific time and report by email, which is very effectively. I highly recommend this tool for validating, testing, and debugging software on any platform.

Room for Improvement

The GUI should get a facelift to make it more user-friendly. In some cases, there are simply too many windows/tabs/etc that make it difficult to get to the info you need.
