Parasoft (officially Parasoft Corporation) is an independent software vendor with headquarters in Monrovia, California. It was founded in 1987 by five graduates of the California Institute of Technology〔"(Interview: Adam Kolawa, Parasoft )" in socaltech.com, February 9, 2004〕 who had been working on Caltech Cosmic Cube.〔(History of Supercomputing )〕 The most recent awards/recognitions received were being named "leader" in Forrester's Functional Test Automation Tools evaluation,〔(The Forrester Wave™: Modern Application Functional Test Automation Tools, Q2 2015 )〕 Jolt Grand Prize Award for Parasoft Virtualize, Parasoft's service virtualization technology〔(Jolt Award: Parasoft Virtualize ) in Dr. Dobb's Journal〕 and the Embeddy Award for most cutting edge product for embedded software developers & engineers.〔(Announcing the winner of VDC’s Software Embeddy for the 2012 DESIGN East show! ) in VDC Research Analysts Blog〕 Parasoft joined the Eclipse Consortium board of stewards in 2002.〔(Eclipse Board minutes December 2002 )〕〔(Parasoft Joins Eclipse )〕 ==Technologies== Parasoft develops automated defect prevention technologies that support the Automated Defect Prevention methodology developed by Adam Kolawa.〔"(Parasoft Company Profile )" in BusinessWeek〕 These technologies automate a number of defect prevention practices for Java, C and C++, and .NET. The static code analysis practice identifies coding issues that lead to security, reliability, performance, and maintainability issues later on. In 1996, Parasoft submitted a patent application for their rule-based static code analysis.〔"(Method and system for automatically checking computer source code quality based on rules )" at www.uspto.gov〕 Since then, the original static analysis technology has been extended to include security static analysis, data flow analysis, and software metrics.〔"(Jtest continues its trek toward code-testing supremacy ) product review in InfoWorld, October 6, 2006〕〔"(Jtest promotes good Java hygiene )" product review in JavaWorld, December 19, 2003〕 In 1996, Parasoft submitted patent applications for technology that automatically generates unit test cases.〔"(Method and system for generating a computer program test suite using dynamic symbolic execution )" at www.uspto.gov〕 Since then, the original unit testing technology has been extended to include code coverage analysis, regression testing, and traceability.〔 The peer code review practice involves manually inspecting source code to examine algorithms, review design, and search for subtle errors that automated tools cannot detect. Although the peer inspection itself cannot be automated, peer code reviews preparation, notification, and tracking can be automated.〔"(Parasoft C++test developer toolkit integrated into IDEs )" at SearchSoftwareQuality.com, April 3, 2007〕 For cloud, SOA, APIs, and enterprise IT environments, Parasoft technologies automate practices such as API testing, integration testing, system testing, load testing, and penetration testing.〔"(Clean up your SOAP-based Web services )" product review in InfoWorld, November 26, 2007〕 Parasoft's service and SOA quality technology was first developed in 2002.〔"(System and method for testing of web services )" at www.uspto.gov〕 Parasoft also develops memory error detection technology that finds run-time errors in C and C++ programs.〔"(Survey of Systems for Detecting Serial Run-Time Errors )" by Iowa State University's High Performance Computing Group, February 22, 2006〕 Patents were submitted for this technology in 1995 and 1996.〔"(Method using a computer for automatically instrumenting a computer program for dynamic debugging )" at www.uspto.gov〕〔"(Method and system for dynamically detecting leaked memory space in a computer program )" at www.uspto.gov〕 For service virtualization, Parasoft technologies are used to automatically capture and emulate dependent system behavior of mainframes, third-party components, or any system component that is unavailable or difficult to access for development and testing purposes.〔(Parasoft Delivers Virtualize Platform ) by Darryl K.
