Parasoft, a global leader in AI-automated software testing solutions, has unveiled major updates to its testing platform—headlined by Agentic AI capabilities in SOAtest and extended Test Impact Analysis (TIA) and code coverage collection in its Continuous Testing Platform (CTP). These innovations streamline testing strategies, reduce technical barriers, and improve collaboration between development and QA teams.
“Our innovation centers on pragmatic automation that makes it easier for customers to build quality into every release,” said Igor Kirilenko, Chief Product Officer at Parasoft. “Our new Agentic AI capability reflects this mindset, helping users achieve faster, smarter outcomes.”
Agentic AI Accelerates Complex API Testing
The latest release of Parasoft SOAtest introduces Agentic AI-powered API test planning and creation. With this update, testers can simply use natural language to instruct the AI Assistant to generate test scenarios based on service definition files. Beyond test creation, the AI:
- Generates test data
- Parameterizes scenarios for data looping
- Supports multi-step workflows and dynamic data
- Enables non-technical users to build advanced API tests without scripting
This enhancement democratizes test automation, allowing broader teams to contribute to quality initiatives and scale testing efforts faster.
Holistic Code Coverage: Automated + Manual
In a significant step toward unifying quality efforts, Parasoft CTP now allows code coverage collection from manual test runs, publishing this data into Parasoft DTP for centralized analysis. QA teams can:
- Create manual test cases and collect coverage data with minimal clicks
- Identify redundancies and gaps in manual testing
- Visualize full application coverage across manual and automated tests
“Efficiency is key,” said Daniel Garay, Director of Software QA at Parasoft. “Enhanced code coverage is vital to keeping pace with development and getting quicker feedback.”
This visibility enables teams to align manual testing with development-led code coverage goals, giving leadership a unified view of quality effectiveness and risk exposure.
Test Impact Analysis Now for Manual Workflows
Parasoft’s Test Impact Analysis (TIA) has been extended to manual testing for Java and .NET applications. Teams can now:
- Capture and utilize code coverage data from manual tests
- Automatically identify and re-run only the affected regression tests
- Adapt regression strategies to agile sprint cycles
- Reduce test fatigue and shorten feedback loops
This enhancement strengthens the connection between development changes and QA validation, ensuring smarter, more targeted testing during rapid release cycles.
See It in Action: API Days New York
Parasoft’s newest capabilities will be showcased at API Days New York (May 14–15), with a featured session titled “Uniting Dev and QA for Faster Releases” on May 15 at 11:40 a.m. EDT in Morgan Forum 2. Speakers include:
