Parasoft announced the 2022.1 release of the Parasoft Continuous Quality platform of API testing and virtualization tools for enterprise applications, including SOAtest, Virtualize, CTP, and DTP.

The release will be available to the general public on May 10, 2022 and continues Parasoft's commitment to enabling continuous software delivery with confidence. The latest version focuses on integrations and updates that enhance modern development and DevOps workflows, including authentication, service virtualization, and API security testing. To see the Parasoft Continuous Quality solution for service and data virtualization, API, and UI testing in action, register for the demo.

The new release of the Parasoft Continuous Quality solution for API testing enables DevOps and application teams to work more efficiently. Shared authentication in test suites makes it easier to configure multiple tests with consistent login credentials. New authentication options for Azure AD, OIDC, and PIV CAC provide additional methods for users to access their Parasoft infrastructure.

Parasoft has also extended the API security testing support to include web UI penetration testing, along with additional widgets and reports for CWE and OWASP Top 10. A new HTTP forward proxy simplifies the ability to virtualize backend services for mobile applications so teams can continuously test the apps when those services aren't available

"With companies feeling the increased pressure to accelerate the delivery of software to the market, many are concerned that cutting corners in quality and compliance is the only way they can deliver on time. While automating testing minimizes delays, moving to a continuous quality approach gives development leaders confidence that their software is secure, reliable, and meets their quality standards," said Igor Kirilenko, CPO at Parasoft.
