I have been using Eterlogic VSPE for years! Very reliable! Works like a dream and you have many options. You can create virtual serial port pairs, multi splitter etc. I used it commercially also to read com communication from a closed source app to figure out a comms protocol to be able to write my own driver for it to communicate with my own hardware :) https://eterlogic.com/Downloads.html. It's free for non-commercial use

Try this software. It emulates com ports. Then you can connect your software to virtual com port and continue testing.
