The report notes that “Parasoft’s focus on developers, API testing, and evolved analytics pays off.”

It offers a long list of mature features in UI automation and comprehensive functional API testing automation, a rich set of integrations with third-party continuous integration and delivery pipeline tools, version control options, integration with Agile project management (PM), and non-functional test automation such as integration and security testing.
