What is service virtualization?

Service virtualization is the ability to simulate service components so that you are able to validate the behavior and performance of each of the components and how they interact as part of a composite application.

Is your organization challenged with:

  • Dependencies on third party applications and systems delaying your project?
  • Wasting money on access fees, licenses and equipment required for testing?
  • Wanting to run what-if scenarios during performance testing?

Service virtualization helps to address all these issues and more. Create understandable, virtualized services, applications or entire systems without relying on teams of developers for coding. No need to wait until all the components are available and deployed to begin end to end testing. Balance quality and speed delivering high quality applications to take advantage of marketplace opportunities while decreasing risk and lowering your cost of quality.

Service virtualization offers your organization new capabilities.

Ideal for Agile

  • Remove your test bottlenecks by employing virtual components in place of expensive or unavailable systems.
  • Realize the benefits of continuous testing without having to constantly modify the system under test.
  • Release with confidence and deliver higher quality software faster executing end to end testing across your sprints.

Decrease cost of quality

  • Recreate your production environments for the purposes of testing faster and at a much lower cost.
  • Eliminate 3rd party charges as you validate your dependencies on external software and services.
  • Performance test earlier discovering architectural issues sooner when they are cheaper to fix.

Reduce project risk

  • Eliminate testing delays resulting in missed project deadlines.
  • Deliver high quality software of enduring quality automating testing that matters.
  • Avoid late stage big bang integration issues.
