A Parasoft Virtual Asset (PVA or .pva file) listens for incoming traffic and sends one of the responses it is configured to send based on the incoming message. PVAs PVAs are deployed to specific endpoint, where it listens for incoming traffic and responds in the defined manner (e.g.for example, with expected/desired responses).
The first step is to create a .pva file file that represents the behavior you want to virtualize. Each .pva file references one or more "Responder suites." Each responder suite should contain one or more of the following tools:
...
See the following chapters describe how to create create message responders from recorded traffic over HTTP, JS, and MQ:
...
See the following chapters if you want to simulate traffic captured in logs (e.g.for example, Wireshark):
- Creating Message Responders from Traffic Files - Overview
- Creating Parameterized Message Responders from Traffic
...
If you want to virtualize application behavior that is not yet available for capture, you can model that behavior by creating a Message Responder from scratch or based on a definition (e.g.for example, OpenAPI/Swagger, RAML, WSDL or schema).
