Parasoft is excited to announce a strategic partnership with SQS Software Quality Systems, focused on enabling Parasoft's award-winning service virtualization solution. Parasoft's fourth generation of Service Virtualization delivers a comprehensive solution for developers and testers to eliminate testing constraints associated with today's complex applications.

"Service Virtualization is a game changing technology," said Wayne Ariola, Chief Strategy Officer for Parasoft Corporation. "Parasoft Virtualize is an open, automated infrastructure that enables continuous testing of complex applications. As leading organizations adopt Service Virtualization, it opens the door to significantly improve the software quality processes. This is where SQS shines as a global leader in software quality process and testing practices."

"We see Parasoft Virtualize as a way to help customers accelerate their software development life cycle (SDLC), by providing them with a framework that integrates into their QA processes allowing better test management and reducing defect leakage/slippage, which results in better quality in production applications," said Scott Abney, CEO for SQS North America.

SQS, the world's leading specialist in software quality, has over 30 years of providing solutions for all aspects of quality throughout the whole software product lifecycle. SQS services are based on an overall 360-degree quality approach, focused on guaranteeing that quality measures are tailored to the customer's situation, and on creating long-term transparency at all software system stages. SQS experienced software quality practitioners are available to support the implementation of Parasoft's Service Virtualization solution.

Parasoft Virtualize allows organizations to automatically capture and emulate dependent system behavior. Instead of wrestling with schedules to access mainframes, ERP systems like SAP, 3rd party information systems or any system that is out of your general control, Virtualize creates a simulated test environment that emulates dependent system behavior including control over performance parameters and data.
