Parasoft Virtualize Room for Improvement

JMS Queue Monitoring: When deploying the TIBCO JMS monitor, we saw an approximately 50% failure rate in detecting the desired event. This is probably due to the asynchronous nature of the event itself, and the natural background flow of other events. Though this feature sounds cool, we had to work around it and create a different solution.

There are none at this time. I like their structure of licensing. You don't have to buy seated licenses, you can buy a server license which will cover anyone who is using the server. This allows you to expand your team without having to buy new licenses.

There is not much more room in areas of improvement, unlike a Portal-based Virtualization.

I didn't see any updates coming in next releases. Except, sometime we face proxy exception issues, which is already reported to Supported Team.

Overall, It's trusted and working nice as expected.

It should have more fine-grained authorization. The authorization is currently role-based, i.e., what one can do.

In addition to that, data-based authorization (with what virtualized services) would be very useful in an environment where multiple teams are using the product.

Even though improvements are being made in this area with the developments around Data Repositories, I am still missing the opportunity to easily store and reuse data persistently, without having to redeploy the virtual assets after each update.

Real life example: when a student registers for a course, this affects his or her tuition situation. For each student, all registrations need to be stored somewhere because at any moment in the future, the current tuition situation needs to be derived using all current and past course registrations.

At the moment, I am working around this by adding scripts (Extension Tools) that store the data required in a database separately from Virtualize and retrieve this when necessary.

A generic solution for this issue that would at least reduce the amount of scripting necessary to properly simulate real life behavior would be very welcome.

Its business model of perpetual licensing sales is outdated; they should deliver it as SaaS.

An area of improvements would be Data Repository, as in current stage it is difficult to manage data from this aspect. Searching, modifying and updating data is a tedious task. In addition, importing to the repository function is
