A Parasoft Virtual Asset (PVA or .pva file) listens for incoming traffic and sends one of the responses it is deployed at a specified configured to send based on the incoming message. PVAs are deployed to specific endpoint, where it listens for incoming traffic and responds in the defined manner (e.g., with expected/desired responses).
The first step in creating a Virtual Asset is to create a .pva (Parasoft Virtual Asset) 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:
...
Once you have a .pva with an appropriate Responder suite and tools, it can be deployed as described in Deploying Virtual Assets Virtualize and serve as a working Virtual Asset.
