Parasoft, a prominent player in AI-automated software testing solutions, has recently been recognised in the latest GigaOm Radar Report on API Functional Automated Testing, earning the title of ‘Leader’ and ‘Fast Mover’. The report, updated from last year and which included a comparison of 14 specialised tools, assesses capabilities for validating API functionality, reliability, and performance. Parasoft’s products, SOAtest and Virtualize, were commended for their extensive API and microservices testing capabilities, bolstered by AI-driven automation designed to simplify the process of creating and maintaining various test scenarios.

Igor Kirilenko, Chief Product Officer at Parasoft, highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation, stating, “Parasoft’s leadership position in the latest GigaOm Radar on API Functional Automated Testing underscores our mission to continually push the boundaries of software testing by integrating AI-driven capabilities and delivering solutions that align with our customers’ evolving needs.” Kirilenko’s comments underscore the importance of adapting to the rapidly changing technological landscape, where efficient testing is imperative for modern software development.

The GigaOm Radar Report assigned Parasoft an ‘exceptional’ rating across 12 categories, emphasising its strong features, including mock server capabilities, security testing, automated testing, and environment management. Parasoft also excelled in business flexibility and scalability, noted for its compatibility with a wide range of tools and its resourceful user and developer community.

Kirk Ryan, a consulting analyst at GigaOm, elaborated on Parasoft’s advantages by stating, “Parasoft’s unique ability to correlate runtime errors with specific test cases, combined with its comprehensive coverage of security protocols and automated penetration testing capabilities, positions it as a leading choice for enterprise-level API security testing.” He further noted that the company’s integration into CI/CD pipelines allows for dynamic test environments, differentiating Parasoft from its competition.

Parasoft’s software solutions are designed for multiple sectors, including aerospace, automotive, finance, government, retail, and technology. By employing AI-enhanced automation, Parasoft effectively streamlines workflows, reduces testing complexities, and aids organisations in producing high-quality software more efficiently.

As underlined in the GigaOm report, “Parasoft’s AI-driven approach to detecting and managing API changes, combined with its ability to reduce test maintenance cycles from weeks to days, puts it ahead of most.” This rapid turnaround is critical in an industry where maintaining the integrity of software deployments is paramount.
