We’re excited to share that Parasoft SOAtest, Virtualize, and CTP 2025.3 are now here! This release is all about helping your team test smarter, move faster, and feel confident about every release.

Here’s what’s new and why it matters to you:

Automatic Identification of Impacted Manual Tests

Now you can see exactly which manual tests to run when a new build of your application is deployed.

The manual test status view automatically updates when code changes occur, identifying immediately which tests have been impacted, ensuring you always know which tests to rerun. If a test passed previously and is not impacted, you don’t need to run it again, even if the build has been updated.

This update allows you to run incremental regression anytime – no waiting for code freezes or end-of-sprint windows. Manual testers can now run the correct set of tests for each build continuously as changes happen.

See Manual Testing in our technical documentation for more details.

Please note: Manual Testing in CTP now requires a separate license.

AI Assistant & AI Tool Enhancements

SOAtest now makes it easy to create complete end-to-end API test scenarios across distributed systems.

  • Multi-service support – Generate test scenarios that span multiple services by specifying multiple definition files in the AI Assistant.
  • Assertions built-in – When you specify validation requirements in natural language, the AI Assistant automatically adds assertions.
  • Browser testing integration – AI Assertor and AI Data Bank tools can now integrate with web browser scenarios.

Explore our technical documentation to learn more about the AI Assistant.

See Virtualize Usage, Measure Impact

CTP’s Asset Utilization Report now gives you full visibility into who is using your virtual assets, how heavily they’re used, and where performance spikes occur, all broken down by team, project, or folder.

Key enhancements include:

  • Team/Project-level reporting – Usage data can now be viewed by team, project, or any organizational grouping when assets are organized into folders within the VirtualAssets project.
  • New performance metrics – Peak Hits per Second and Average Hits per Second help you identify usage spikes, enabling smarter capacity planning and performance tuning.
  • Export to CSV – Reports can be exported and ingested by external tools such as BI dashboards or Excel for deeper analysis.
  • Default grouping by folders – Reports are ready to review immediately, with no manual setup required.

See Viewing the Asset Utilization Report for details.

MCP Client and Listener Updates

  • MCP Client now supports OAuth and Basic authentication.
  • MCP Listener includes an updated heartbeat mechanism with the ability to disable heartbeats.
  • Both now support Streamable HTTP transport.

See MCP Extensions for details.

GraphQL Query Validation

A new GraphQL Query Validator tool verifies incoming queries against defined schemas, ensuring they remain valid as services evolve. When schemas change, the validator helps teams quickly identify and update affected GraphQL queries and responders.

Easier Generation of Dynamic Lists in Response Payloads

The new JSON List Processor and XML List Processor tools in Virtualize let you select items from a payload and process them individually, performing lookups or generating item-specific data, before aggregating outgoing content into a single response payload.

These tools replaces the Multiple Response Generator - adding support for JSON and eliminating the need for multiple virtual assets to handle the same use case.

SOAP With Attachments Support Restored

The new Attachments Tool allows MIME attachments to be added to outgoing messages, restoring SOAP with Attachments (SwA) functionality that was removed in the 2024.1 release.


With 2025.3, you can test smarter and deliver faster, from manual regression to AI-driven, end-to-end testing across distributed systems. Review our release notes to learn more about the 2025.3 release of SOAtest, Virtualize, and CTP.
