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 restricted

On 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

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

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

Utilities

Allows value-chain partners to test as-yet-unimplemented APIs for certified cross-partner integrations

Virtualizes legacy mainframe behaviors, allowing for safe partner integration

Financial Services
