C++test


"With minimal effort on my part I can come up to speed on C++test very fast after a few months of not using it. All of Parasoft's C development tools are extremely easy to use. The user manuals are quite informative, and the graphical user interface provides an intuitive mechanism for retrieving pertinent debugging information."

Robert Luppold, President
Luppold & Associates, Inc.




"As part of our corporate quality initiative, we deployed Parasoft C++test to improve the readability, maintainability and reliability of our software. The full IDE integration makes all the features easy to access on the desktop."

Scott Lushbough, Software Engineer

“[Parasoft Jtest and C++test have] increased confidence in our software, decreased testing time and produced a more reliable product. We are able to double code coverage in our test cases.”

Jeremy Kincaid, Senior Software Engineer
Intermoco




“Parasoft C++test has made it easy to transfer knowledge to new people, reducing the negative impact when experienced developers leave and new ones come in to replace them. It’s easier to teach new people how to merely use the software rather than the concepts of QA and all the things that they need to know in order to adhere to those internal quality initiatives, such as code review, scope, and range of testing. Automation makes it a lot easier for us…. Parasoft C++test enhances the quality of our products and the quality of our lives.”

Joel Calderon, Software Design Supervisor
NEC Telecom Software Philippines




“Parasoft provides a quality development solution that our entire team can grow with and experience continuous improvement. Parasoft's solution is teaching us all to be better programmers. It helps us find errors that we didn't even realize were errors. Parasoft's solution has saved the Global Modeling and Analysis team both time and resources that we would have otherwise spent finding and fixing defects. Instead, we get to spend that time adding new features and functionality.”

Jim Spielbauer, Development Engineer
Trane




"We have automated and standardized our best practices for providing customers the highest quality code. We have dramatically improved the productivity of our testing efforts and this helps strengthen our position as a global provider of IT solutions."

Vidya Kabra, Software Engineering Tools Group Head
Wipro




"[Parasoft C++test and .TEST] teach our development team better coding habits so that we can make our source code more fault-tolerant; more robust. I'm not talking about obvious bugs that software developers can find without automated testing tools; I'm talking about difficult-to-find logic issues that can take many hours of manual unit and integration testing to discover.… We are able to get our product to market approximately 6 months sooner with Parasoft solutions than we could have if we had gone back to the testing vendor.”

Gary Malfa, Software Engineer
Bovie Medical




Jtest


"We deployed Parasoft Jtest as part of our effort to improve development productivity and code reliability. Developers are now required to systematically perform Static Analysis and Unit Testing on new and changed code. Parasoft Jtest is used to enforce coding standards and to detect and fix errors early in the development cycle. We are constantly looking at ways to improve our bug detection capabilities and are thrilled to explore the new features in Parasoft Jtest."

Laurent Nicolas, Software Development Manager
Cisco Systems




"It normally takes us two days to create one realistic [functional] test case given the complexity and size of our code base. Using the Jtest Tracer® we are able to generate these realistic test cases in just a few hours. That is a lot of bang for the buck in our organization. We are constantly trying to produce software faster, and get it out there. There is constant pressure on Test to not only test faster but to test effectively in a shorter period of time. Tracer allows us to create more effective test cases in a much shorter span of time.”

Kevin George, Sr. Test Engineer
ADP




“Jtest allows us to reduce errors at the source, adjust our practices as necessary to eliminate a repeat of that error, and improve our overall software development process that carries forward from project to project. That is where we save real time and money in the long run.”

Giorgio Frondoni, Software Development Manager
Transcore




"Jtest is an extremely effective tool to identify critical software errors. We don’t see repeat errors, and our developers get constant reinforcement of their progress as they improve their code. It has eliminated the prospect of being summoned to the executive suite late at night to explain why an online application has become unavailable again. Jtest has allowed developers to take greater personal responsibility for the quality of their own code."

Mark Figley, Enterprise Architect
AIG United Guaranty




“Parasoft Jtest takes testing to a whole new level, well beyond any other testing solution. Jtest Tracer® has helped us identify breakages. With high rates of code change, we can’t avoid these problems from occurring, but we can now identify and address them as soon as they occur, which is when it's fastest, easiest, and cheapest to fix them.”

Luis Barbier, Software Consultant
ISO




“Having the ability to automatically generate and execute Cactus tests for our Java EE applications in a live runtime environment makes life easier. Parasoft Jtest has reduced the resources required to ensure the reliability of our core trading systems, where glitches and down-time are not acceptable.”

Anthony Licciardi, Vice President
Lehman Brothers




“One of the biggest gains is that Parasoft Jtest has taught engineers how to be better developers. In the process of using Parasoft Jtest, we are getting fewer and fewer defects in the code base because developers are learning how to write better Java.”

Andy Chessin, Technical Leader
Cisco Systems




“[Parasoft Jtest and C++test have] increased confidence in our software, decreased testing time and produced a more reliable product. We are able to double code coverage in our test cases.”

Insure++


"I wanted my money to go towards a system that would find as many "hard to find "bugs as possible. I decided Insure would do me better, based on my evaluation. I know from past experience some of the hardest bugs to find are incorrect values and formatting strings passed to printf/sprintf, and random behavior caused by non-core dumping pointer overruns. So thanks for all the support, and I look forward to sleeping a little better knowing that I now have a tool that will prevent me from having to put a detective's hat on and crawl through code printouts with a magnifying glass just to figure out why variables are getting corrupted. "

Greg Ercolano
Digital Domain




"We're very happy with Insure++. This is a really good product that has saved my butt several times during the development of several large systems here... I work in a small (overworked) team with tight deadlines. We can't afford to waste days tracking down bugs. We depend on tools like Insure++ to quickly locate problems and let us get back to development. We use CodeCenter during initial development and Insure++ for quality assurance testing. All my dealings with Parasoft have been pleasant. I would not hesitate to contact to recommend your products to anyone who cares about the quality of the software they produce."

John Wendel, Computer Specialist
Branch of US Military




"Within only hours I was able to track down a nasty memory bug in my code that had plagued me for weeks. Insure++ is of tremendous help in debugging programs and it is very easy to use. "

Dr. Marcus E. Hennecke
Applied Research Laboratories




"Problems that used to take us several days or even weeks to track down, we are able to routinely find and fix in a few hours with Insure++. So, Insure++ is now a standard tool that is used on all software that we develop before it is released. Our engineering team is very enthusiastic about it and management is convinced that it was well worth the money. We have told lots of our peers about Insure and will keep doing so."

David Miller
Hewlett-Packard




"Insure++ is an indispensable tool for my development. It automatically finds all the otherwise hard-to-find bugs and memory leaks during compilation and runtime. Inuse is a graphical tool that comes with Insure++. During testing, I run my program with Inuse for a few days, non-stop. This way, I can be sure my program is free of memory leaks. I won't deliver my programs to customers unless I first check them with Insure++. I can't imagine doing development without Insure++. "

Chee Cheng
Chicago Tribune




"Insure++’s ability to model applications at the source code level make its error detection capabilities unmatched in the industry. It has allowed us to find application defects that Purify and other tools were not able to find."

Chris Teague, Systems Administrator
Kinesix Corporation




"We recently used Insure++ (Linux version) to detect memory leaks in our multi-threaded code and it was very helpful. It helped us to find a problem that had been nagging us for months."

Aniruddha R. Thakar
Johns Hopkins University




“Parasoft Insure++ gives me the ability to analyze my content in the environment where it's being run as opposed to just looking at the code on paper. It forces you to verify that the standards and practices that are being used are absolutely pristine. One of the challenges as a project leader—or managing partner, like myself—is confirming that your team is writing code that meets high standards. It's extremely difficult to go through and double check every line of code. In fact, it's just not possible. Insure++ can help me verify that my team is writing code that meets my standards. Insure++ can allow me to guarantee results. I am really excited about that.”

Timothy W. Okrey, Managing Partner
BITTT Enterprises, Inc




SOAtest


"Developers are only human. They make mistakes. That’s normal. We use SOAtest to ensure the results we get are what we expected. It allows us to produce test suites that we can reuse in other projects without writing again and again. We gain significant productivity benefits from being able to reuse the test assets… The flexibility of the solution was unique. It’s a framework, not a simple application. There are so many possibilities and ways to apply it that create value for us. … SOAtest gives us the possibility to rapidly implement Web services with a higher quality. This makes the IT services organization more agile and able to respond to the business demands that Siemens faces.”

Stefan Potzel, Manager of the IT services organization’s EAI group
Siemens




"Cybersource chose Parasoft's SOAPtest for Web Services testing due to its breadth of functionality. It clearly stood out that Parasoft's SOAPtest was architected to not only meet the functional demands of today's environment but also to evolve as future standards and protocols are released. The flexibility of the product has enabled us to verify the most complex behaviors of our Web services including security and workflow and the level of automation has allowed us to build our tests in a surprisingly short amount of time."

Mike Jimenez, Chief Architect
Cybersource Corporation




"We've been customers of Parasoft SOAtest for many years now and have seen the product evolve to include features and flexibility to help support AOL's needs. Parasoft SOAtest is a critical component to our SOA lifecycle to enforce quality as a process and not a task."

Parasoft SOAtest's capability to automatically generate penetration tests custom to our Web Services implementation provides me with the assurance that our services are truly production ready."

Cort Bucher
McGraw-Hill Construction




“Parasoft SOAtest is exactly what we hoped for! Parasoft is the only company we found that could meet our demands for Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) and the latest Web testing security support. Parasoft SOAtest has an easy-to-use interface and a complete set of Web service testing tools which has allowed us to validate our Web services in a much shorter time frame than by manually executing tests.”

Anthony Lugo, Lead QA Engineer
First American Corporation




“As we evolved from the initial phase of our SOA implementation to more complex scenarios, the power of Parasoft SOAtest really became evident. Parasoft SOAtest is way ahead of the game in providing a framework to test a complex SOA Web services environment in a fast, effortless, and intuitive way.”

Taranath Kantharajapur, Principal QA Engineer
AOL




"I was pleasantly surprised at how gentle the learning curve for Parasoft is compared to other competing products."

Paul Oakes, Principal QA Engineer

"Parasoft now allows us to successfully capture interaction with our AJAX components automatically. This significantly improves the ability to exercise all aspects of our AJAX applications, which we couldn't do before."

Greg Hasson, Software QA Lead
Networkcar




“Without Parasoft SOAtest, the quality of testing for our project would suffer because there’s no way we would be able to do all those tests in the time frame that we had. We would have had to make some compromises.”

Victor Tsemko, Technical Analyst
Aeroplan




“We had to take steps toward improving how we tested our Web services to accommodate for growth. Parasoft provided a really good solution for us... The solution is quite intuitive and allowed us to develop the scenario-based tests that we wanted for our regression testing… Parasoft SOA Quality Solution definitely gives us confidence that we won't reintroduce resolved problems.”

Gareth Galvin, QA Manager
Atex




“Parasoft SOAtest was more intuitive and user-friendly than the other products we looked at. Beyond that, Parasoft SOAtest is truly SOA-oriented. In other words, it can be used straight out of the box—no adjustments or customizations necessary…I can say with 100% confidence that Parasoft SOAtest is saving us time. We can execute all of the tests in nearly no time at all. It's a wonderful benefit. It saves time. Time is money. So, it absolutely saves money… Broadly speaking, Parasoft SOAtest is greatly benefiting us. The solution improves our workflow options as QA engineers. Our time is used more efficiently because our work is more focused and productive.”

Lilach Shalev, QA Lead
Fundtech




“Being able to keep regression tests in our SQL database, and then being able to validate our responses and then store them for future regression testing is a huge benefit. If I look at the amount of time that it takes us to validate those responses the first time through, and then multiply that by how often we run the regression tests, I would say that using this feature has saved us a couple hundred hours worth of work over the past year.”

Mary Hulett, QA Manager
Jack Henry & Associates




“We received very good consulting and so the set up of the complete environment was easy for us — very helpful. And, the training was excellent, so it was easy for the team to understand and work with the solution… The SDB project is now completed and Parasoft’s SOAtest solution was a critical success factor for the overall project. The solution enabled me to stick to my original plan and budget. Now, after seeing the excellent results of the project, I strongly believe that it would not have been possible to accomplish this level of high quality without Parasoft.”

Michael Herrmann, Project Manager
Lufthansa Cargo AG




“We found SOAtest and we ran with it. Parasoft support trained us for one week and we were able to take it from there. We quickly saw that the product had a lot of powerful features that would help us automate our testing activities and processes. We have to ensure members have an effective experience…The data must be valid and correct. It must be rapidly and correctly updated. Parasoft SOAtest helps us ensure these objectives are consistently met.”

Natalie Doan, QA Engineer
MedicAlert




“The time that it took us to test the components was approximately cut in half…. We were able to test with our current resources rather than getting additional help to do it manually.”

Redzuan Abdullah, Senior Manager, MIMOS Testing Department
Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation of Malaysia




“Parasoft SOAtest was clearly the easiest product to work with. That was a key issue for us. The users of the testing tools were not programmers. We knew the tool had to be very user friendly…The work changed from manual labor to the development of interesting test cases. A lot of manual labor disappeared and was outmoded. This enabled us to speed up the development cycle. We could now generate a release every three days instead of every three weeks."

Martin Folkerts, Test Coordinator
Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs




“The software offered us significant gains in productivity. We could generate many more release test cycles within a given timeframe.”

Hedde van der Lug, CSN Project Leader
Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs




“With Parasoft SOAtest, we are able to kill two birds with one stone. You test the feature. When you are satisfied with result, you immediately generate a regression suite and you have your automation ready. You don’t have to do the testing twice anymore. It’s all done in one shot. That’s a huge advantage...Parasoft helps us increase test coverage and increase the granularity of our testing. That helps us ensure our clients that they are always receiving a very high quality product.”

Konstantin Goldin, QA Director
Reactivity




“We were able to increase coverage with the same number of resources and with the same amount of time allocated. We got more payoff for our efforts.”

Ramalakshmi Vijayakumar, Lead QA Engineer
Reactivity




.TEST


".TEST is a great product! It snaps right into VS 2005 as though it were part of the product and it greatly reduces errors by enforcing all your favorite rules. We have stuck to the MS Guidelines and we had to do almost no work at all to have .TEST automate our code analysis and generate the grunt work part of the unit tests so that we could focus ur attention on real test-driven development."

Bruce Gruenbaum, Principal Software Engineer
Progress Software




"Parasoft’s .TEST is one such product with which developers can automatically test their applications during the development phase with a single click. As opposed to the Visual Studio debugger, Parasoft .TEST is a tool that enforces coding standards rules and helps in generating and executing unit tests."

Anand Narayanaswamy, Editor
