Case Study: IntegrationQA achieves automated middleware testing and SAP virtualization with Parasoft

Verifying Middleware Interactions with SAP

A financial organisation replacing its legacy back end with SAP faced a major risk: ensuring middleware mapping and transformation logic worked correctly during the migration without disrupting customers. The existing manual, service-layer testing was too slow and dependent on SAP being available and on costly data setup, so the team needed a way to validate middleware behavior early and repeatedly.

They adopted Parasoft’s Continuous Testing platform—using Parasoft Virtualize to simulate SAP and other back ends and Parasoft SOAtest for automated service tests—integrated event monitoring to validate internal message flows, and virtualized eight back-end systems. This enabled tests to run after each middleware build, removed data-setup bottlenecks, caught complex issues earlier, and delivered strong business impact: the project exceeded its defect-avoidance ROI target by 68%.
