PVA - Parasoft Virtualize Agent

    Its similar to the JAR/ZIP file which contains virtual asset, such as its behavior, responses, and dependencies. The PVA file can be saved, shared, and deployed to different environments to recreate the virtual asset.

Responder Suit

    It refers to a collection of software tools that are used for creating, managing, and testing virtual assets. In other words its a collection of Responders corresponding to a specific service. Lets take an example of Login service. Login service in parasoft may have following responders under responder suit: -

• Validate username, it shuld not be null, empty and between the range of 5 - 26 characters.
• Validate password, it should not be null, empty and should have min 6 and max 40 characters long.
• Validate username and password wih database/repository records.
• Handle all the exceptions if no one above mentioned responder handling the request.

Responder

    Its a tool which contains configuration and various parasoft components/tools to Virtualize any service. In responder we define service request and response, interacting with the database/repository, intercepting request and response and also mapping the payload. Following configurations are available in the responder: -
