Agentic AI Assistant lets users generate virtual services by chatting in natural language, saving hours typically spent building virtual environments
New AI tools enable testers to quickly validate complex business logic through natural language
Model Context Protocol (MCP) supports testing and simulating interactions between GenAI agents and MCP tools

MONROVIA, Calif., July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Parasoft, a global leader in AI-driven software testing solutions, is ushering in a new era of autonomous testing capabilities for its flagship testing solutions, including SOAtest, Virtualize and CTP. New functionality includes first-to-market agentic AI-driven virtual service generation, which dramatically reduces the time and expertise required to create comprehensive test environments. Additionally, Parasoft adds major features to address the next frontier of testing AI-infused applications with new LLM-based validation and data manipulation tools. Also included are critical testing and virtualization capabilities for the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) open standard.

Parasoft’s first-to-market agentic AI functionality for service virtualization lets users generate mock services by simply chatting in natural language.

"Parasoft's latest integration of agentic AI capabilities and ongoing AI testing advancements are a significant leap forward in helping customers navigate the complexities of modern software development," said Igor Kirilenko, chief product officer, Parasoft. "Our legacy of embracing AI continues to drive their journey of adopting API-first development while setting new benchmarks for quality in AI-infused applications."

Industry-First Agentic AI for Service Virtualization
Parasoft's integration of agentic AI into Virtualize delivers major improvements in both usability and scalability. Using the Virtualize AI Assistant, a UI-based chat interface, customers can create data-rich virtual services simply by describing their needs in natural language. This game-changing feature eliminates the need for deep domain knowledge or advanced development skills. As a result, testing teams can get up-and-running faster to deliver higher-quality software and accelerate business ROI.

Validating Output of AI-Infused Applications
As part of a mission to remove the technical burdens associated with testing AI-infused applications, new capabilities have been specifically designed to handle the unpredictable outputs typical of large language models (LLMs). Traditional methods of validating and extracting data are ineffective in dealing with responses that vary randomly with AI-infused applications. Users now have the freedom to validate and extract data using natural language, making it ideally suited for testing dynamic AI-generated outputs. This approach brings flexibility while eliminating the need to hard-code complex testing logic, making it easier for all team members to validate both traditional and AI-driven systems.

Parasoft also announces new SOAtest and Virtualize capabilities for testing and simulating AI-infused applications that rely on MCP. This lets teams validate interactions between GenAI agents and tools powered by MCP technology through a codeless interface. By ensuring integrated support, Parasoft provides a standardized, robust, and repeatable process for testing complex AI agent workflows.

Availability
Parasoft's new agentic AI-driven virtual service generation feature, LLM-based validation and data manipulation tools, as well as MCP support for testing and virtualization, are immediately available.
