The 2025.2 release of Parasoft SOAtest, Virtualize, and CTP introduces powerful new AI capabilities to make service virtualization and advanced test creation faster and more approachable for QA teams. Whether you’re testing traditional systems or the next generation of AI-driven applications, this release helps you reduce manual effort, accelerate test creation, and validate complex, non-deterministic behavior with confidence.

Here’s what’s new:

First-to-Market Agentic AI for Virtual Service Generation

The AI Assistant in Parasoft Virtualize is the first of its kind to offer agentic AI to generate virtual services from natural language instructions. Just describe the behavior you need, and the assistant handles the rest: from parsing service definitions or sample requests to parameterizing responses.

Now anyone on your team, not just domain experts, can create rich, reusable virtual services in minutes. It’s service virtualization, reimagined for speed, accessibility, and modern API-first workflows.

See Creating Virtual Assets with the AI Assistant for more information.

Natural Language Assertions & Data Extraction With Generative AI Tools

Testing AI-driven systems requires flexibility to test systems that return variable or non-deterministic outputs. The new AI Assertor in SOAtest and AI Data Bank tool in SOAtest and Virtualize makes this easier than ever.
These tools let you use natural language to define rich validation logic and data extraction—no XPath, scripting, or hardcoding needed. They’re ideal for:

  • Handling non-deterministic outputs common in generative AI systems
  • Describing expected behaviors in natural language, making it easier and faster to validate complex business logic in both traditional and AI-enhanced systems
  • Accelerating test authoring and reducing errors in assertions

Validate smarter, not harder—with AI tools built for dynamic systems.

For more details, see AI Assertor and AI Data Bank.

Codeless Testing and Simulation of MCP-Based Applications

Parasoft now supports testing and simulation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, a key framework for generative AI agents.

Using the intuitive SOAtest and Virtualize UI, teams can now:

  • Test MCP Servers and the behavior of MCP tools that AI agents rely on
  • Simulate unavailable MCP tools for stable, uninterrupted test automation
  • Build test environments that control and observe AI interactions through MCP interfaces—without writing code

This gives teams a huge advantage in testing AI-infused applications, especially as MCP adoption grows.

Additional Updates in 2025.2

In addition to our new AI innovations, this release includes valuable updates across the platform:

  • Virtualize adds support for GraphQL selection sets, improving GraphQL responder flexibility.
  • Provisioning Assets project is now exposed in the Virtualize Server view for easier access and management.
  • CTP now supports PostgreSQL, expanding database compatibility.
