Simulation and Testing

Testing and Simulation for Clients, Services, and ESBs

Industry leading SOA tools to optimize the project lifecycle and ensure reliable, resilient clients and services. Testing and simulation tools install in minutes, are simple to use, and easy to adopt.

Functional, Performance, Compliance, and Security Testing for SOAP, XML, and REST.

SOAPSonar provides simple, intuitive, and comprehensive testing for SOAP, XML, and REST based services. With deployments in over 42 countries worldwide, SOAPSonar is the premier service testing solution in the industry. The SOAPSonar testing framework is easy to deploy, installs in under 10 minutes, and provides the most comprehensive solution set for service testing across functional, performance, compliance and security testing.

Cloud Migration Modeling and Endpoint service simulation of Application Server, ESB, and RDBMS on IaaS providers including Amazon EC2, GoGrid, and Opsource.

CloudPort provides a graphical rules interface to replicate service messaging behavior. Virtual simulations can then be run as a network endpoint on traditional infrastructure, or in the cloud. This enables modeling cloud migration strategies, modeling performance and response time characteristics, and enabling clients and trading partners to integrate against the simulated instance rather than expose the actual service.
