Case Study: Leading Financial Services Institution achieves always-on partner onboarding with Parasoft Virtualize

Removing Test Data Management Bottlenecks for Agile Development and Continuous Delivery

A leading Financial Services Provider needed an always-on test environment for partner certification, but its mainframe-based setup was shared with internal dev/test teams. This created scheduling conflicts, cleanup overhead, and downtime that slowed partner onboarding and made it difficult for global partners to test against the system reliably. Parasoft’s service virtualization solution, Parasoft Virtualize, was used to emulate the mainframe behavior partners needed without relying on the live environment.

Parasoft captured 100% of the required mainframe interactions and exposed them through virtual assets, allowing new partners to be granted access in minutes. The result was a stable, 24/7 certification environment that enabled internal teams to continue testing without disrupting partners, reduced onboarding delays, and avoided the cost of building a separate mainframe test system.
