Find & Fix Defects in Financial Applications

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is widely used to communicate machine to machine in a formal format with partners, for sending and receiving documents such as 834 enrollments. Messages can be exchanged over the wire or as simulated file drops an reads. Parasoft SOAtest supports AL3, CARGO, EANCOM, EDIFACT, EDIGAS, HIPAA, HL7 (2.x/3/FHIR®), IATA, NCPDP, TELCO, TRADACOMS, and X12 standards, simplifying the use of EDI.

Mainframe services are often tightly integrated with customer profile workflows and are required for testing the open systems. These mainframe services hold the critical data needed for complete end-to-end scenario testing. Parasoft SOAtest enables testing of these mainframe services directly from open systems using common communication protocols such as MQ, TCP, DB2 as well as providing payloads in Cobol (copybook) and Fixed Length formats.

Parasoft’s simplified automation workflows and integrations enable teams looking to modernize into continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). Parasoft enables teams to get immediate feedback with continuous validation of quality, at each stage of the development process, ensuring they can efficiently meet both time-to-market and quality requirements.

Parasoft’s integrated solutions for C/C++ and Java development testing provide a unified approach to software testing. With IDE and CI/CD integrations, Parasoft users can integrate unit testing into the software delivery process in an automated way. In addition to standard unit and integration testing support, Parasoft’s smart technologies increase efficiency by leveraging modern techniques and advanced analytics.

Parasoft users can bake security into their development process from the beginning by automatically checking code directly from the IDE to ensure that it’s compliant with industry and government regulations such as CWE, CERT, or OWASP.

Parasoft SOAtest helps teams prevent security vulnerabilities through API penetration testing and execution of complex authentication, encryption, and access control test scenarios. By leveraging already-existing functional tests for security scenarios, teams can approach security testing earlier, and address critical security defects before they are buried deep in the release.

Parasoft is FSQS accredited! FSQS (Financial Services Qualification System) offers a standard for gathering and managing supplier compliance assurance information across the financial sector. It’s supported by a community of financial institutions that includes banks, building societies, insurance companies, and investment services that collaborate to agree on a single standard for managing the increasing complexity of third and fourth-party information needed to demonstrate compliance to regulators, policies, and governance controls.

Because your customers navigate your services for major life events, it is vital to provide consistent and reliable access to these platforms, ensuring that your applications are defect free and intuitive. You can validate your customer experience at the UI level using Selenium enhanced with Parasoft Selenic. Going beyond UI testing, Parasoft SOAtest supports end-to-end omni-channel test scenarios. The Parasoft solution enables you to continuously test your applications, from mobile to API to UI to performance to security, identifying critical defects before they reach production and protecting your brand.

Parasoft SOAtest enables users to efficiently leverage existing API and web UI functional test scenarios for non-functional testing. With a few clicks, you can construct and run a performance test or security test based on it, enabling a true shift-left testing strategy by facilitating early stage non-functional testing as soon as the interface is available. You can then create rich multi-profile performance test scenarios to further scale your performance testing solution across multiple machines. Unlike any other vendor, Parasoft enables automated penetration testing part of the automated CI process.

Integrations with third-party systems can cause bottlenecks in your test ecosystem. Parasoft users can leverage test environment simulation to decouple from these third-party services and test unconstrained.

Automated UI testing is critical to validate the customer experience, and customer experience is vital for financial institutions, due to initiatives like open banking, which are reducing the barriers-to-entry for innovative startups. Ensuring that your customer experience is superior and seamless will give you the competitive advantage you need to succeed.

Parasoft Selenic helps you reduce costs associated with UI testing by addressing the common UI testing challenges of maintainability and stability. As a unique solution that works with regular Selenium tests, rather than locking you into a proprietary “Selenium-powered” vendor platform, Parasoft Selenic provides both self-healing at runtime along with recommendations post-execution, to help teams simultaneously test rapidly and reliably.
