We have used Traffic Parrot to simulate third-party HTTP services and test
our product in isolation. Traffic Parrot consultants have developed
custom-made simulators for us. During
the first testing cycle, it allowed us to find 28 issues with our product’s
release candidate and fix them early in the software lifecycle. This means
completing the testing schedule more than 2 months earlier than anticipated
just for the first release alone.
We have also used Traffic Parrot to create third party system simulators
that communicate over IBM MQ queues. The previous process took at least 30
minutes of manual effort per test case to verify when the interface was
available—and sometimes up to 3 days when testing needed to be scheduled
with external teams. Our Traffic Parrot simulators respond within
milliseconds and are always up. They enabled our team to create automated
tests that rely on those service responses and meet our department automated
testing KPIs. This allowed us to reduce the regression testing cycle from 30 days to a
week.
