Release date: October 12, 2021
Native Penetration Testing SupportParasoft SOAtest now supports native penetration testing of API test scenarios. You can efficiently take your existing API functional testing scenarios and create security tests, adding penetration testing into your automated CI process. By leveraging already-existing functional tests for security scenarios, teams can approach security testing earlier, and address critical security defects before they are buried deep in the release. See Penetration Testing for more details. OpenAPI ValidationYou can now perform well-formedness and semantic validation on OpenAPI and Swagger definitions. This helps ensure that your services can be properly consumed by other applications and is an important step toward better API governance. See Open API and Swagger Validator for additional information. Custom Test Configurations for the SOAtest and Virtualize Server Web ArchiveYou can now create custom test configurations in the SOAvirt.war workspace and use them to exercise your tests using different configurations. As part of this change, the correct test configuration must be specified. The server will no longer substitute the default test configuration if no configuration or the incorrect configuration is specified. Ability to Register SOAtest and Virtualize Server from the CTP UICTP administrators can now connect servers to CTP from the Virtualize Servers screen in CTP. The native create, read, update, delete (CRUD) tool is now functionally complete. The addition of the Read operation enables you to copy (or extract) values from a data set record and update a record in the data repository. Streamlined Test Impact AnalysisYou can now generate the baseline coverage report by configuring and running a test configuration. See Test Impact Analysis. Publishing Results from CTP Jobs to DTPYou can now configure your CTP jobs to send results to DTP. Ability to Generate Parameterized Messages From RESTful Service Definitions You can now specify a RESTful service definition without recorded traffic to create parameterized clients and responders in the traffic wizard. This allows users to generate parameterized messages based solely on the service definition when recorded traffic is not available. It also allows users to easily update an existing template when a new resource is introduced to a service definition. - You can now select Empty Groups to enable the traffic wizard to allow message groups defined in a service definition or template file to be created even if the groups do not contain messages from a traffic file.
Report UpdatesThe format of HTML, PDF, and XML reports produced by desktop installations is now consistent with the reports produced by the WAR deployment, with a more modern look and feel. Note: There are some limitations in the updated reports produced by desktop installations. See Legacy Report Format for more details. Introduced an option in the WAR deployment to add details to the XML report about the active environment used during test execution. Introduced an option in the WAR deployment to add details to the XML report about the results of individual assertions run by the JSON Assertor and XML Assertor tools.
