Overall Satisfaction with Parasoft SOAtest
I used Parasoft SOAtest at my previous company. Parasoft SOAtest was used in the information technology team. This tool assisted quality assurance engineers by minimizing the time and quantity of test cases used for manual testing. Parasoft SOAtest was for web services and browser recorded test cases. Quality engineers were able to organize their test cases in a test suite and execute them automatically.
- Organized test suites.
- Fast and efficient execution of automated testing.
- Built in Javascript that can be used to run test cases with a repository tool such as HP Quality Center. This will show the test results and allow the QA engineer to pass, fail, or set a test case to N/A.
- Enhance the performance of the browser recording.
- Make compatible with all repository tools. For example: Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS).
- Provide an option for a agile environment.
- Parasoft SOAtest has helped QA reduce their time of testing.
- Soap UI, Sahi Test Pro, Quick Test Pro and Selenium
Parasoft SOAtest does not freeze up like other tools. I have never had any issues with Parasoft SOAtest shutting down or any slow performance.

Parasoft SOAtest Support
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Quick Resolution Knowledgeable team Kept well informed Immediate help available Support cares about my success | Poor followup Problems left unsolved Escalation required Need to explain problems multiple times Slow Initial Response |
I had a question related to using the script with HP Quality Center. I was informed there was a script already built in Parasoft SOAtest that I could use to configure with HP Quality Center to show my automation test results.
