Smarter Testing with Expanded AI and Workflow Optimization

The 2025.1 release of Parasoft SOAtest, Virtualize, and CTP is here—and it's loaded with exciting updates designed to take your testing capabilities to the next level. From more powerful AI-assisted workflows to smarter ways to manage dependencies and optimization of manual testing, this release helps teams increase productivity, improve visibility, and deliver high-quality software faster. Here's a look at what’s new:

Natural Language Test Scenario Creation in the AI Assistant

The chat-based AI Assistant has taken a big leap forward. It now supports natural language-driven test scenario creation. Simply describe what you want in plain English, and the AI Assistant will analyze your OpenAPI/Swagger definitions to automatically generate SOAtest test scenarios and data sources. You can refine your tests through conversation, auto-populate payloads, and build rich, parameterized scenarios with ease. Learn more in Creating Tests with the AI Assistant.

Code Coverage and Test Impact Analysis for Manual Tests

Manual testing just got smarter. A new module in CTP makes it easy to collect code coverage during manual testing and analyze that data in DTP. With test impact analysis, you can identify which manual tests to rerun based on recent application changes—saving time and effort. This powerful feature supports Java and .NET applications, including those with microservice backends. See Manual Testing for more details.

Automatically Transfer Dependencies with Remote Virtual Asset Uploads

Tired of manually uploading dependencies when moving virtual assets to your Virtualize Server? Now, when you upload a virtual asset to a remote server, all associated dependencies—like data sources, scripts, and other referenced files —are automatically detected and transferred, ensuring the asset works as expected. One less thing to worry about.

Using Secrets in Kubernetes Deployments

When deploying SOAtest or Virtualize in Kubernetes, you can now configure secrets for added security. This helps streamline secure server setup and simplifies managing sensitive configuration data.

gRPC Client Improvements

Two key enhancements make the gRPC client even more powerful:

  • Support for sending custom headers in metadata to trace and correlate requests.
  • Support for token-based authentication, expanding your ability to test secure gRPC services.

See gRPC Transport for full details.

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow Enhancements

SOAtest now lets you record login steps for web apps that use OAuth 2.0 authorization servers. It will automatically generate an OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow reference test suite—saving time and ensuring consistency. See OAuth Authentication for more info.

Heads-Up: Breaking Changes

This release includes some breaking changes you should be aware of before upgrading. Be sure to review the Breaking Changes section in the release notes to avoid surprises.
