Parasoft SOAPtest 2.6 Supports WS-Security

Parasoft, leading provider of Automated Error Prevention (AEP) software solutions, announced the release of SOAPtest 2.6, the most comprehensive Web services testing product available today, verifying every aspect of a Web service from WSDL validation, to client/server unit and functional testing, to performance testing.

The latest version of SOAPtest offers full support for the recently approved WS-Security 2004, application logic testing, asynchronous testing support, and other features designed to help development teams prevent errors and accelerate time to market for their Web service initiatives.


Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline strategies and road maps for Grid deployment.

"Cybersource chose Parasoft's SOAPtest for Web Services testing due to its breadth of functionality," said Mike Jimenez, chief architect of Cybersource Corp. "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."
