Parasoft

Parasoft Corporation is an independent software vendor that develops automated software testing and application security tools, with headquarters in Monrovia, California. It was founded in 1987 by four graduates of the California Institute of Technology who intended to commercialize parallel computing software tools developed for the Caltech Cosmic Cube project. The Cosmic Cube was the first operational hypercube computer.

During the 1990s, Parasoft transitioned its parallel software technology into automated testing tools for both traditional and parallel software development. Beginning with runtime error detection for C and C++ via its Insure++ product, the company expanded its suite to include static code analysis, unit testing, application security, functional testing, and service virtualization.
