How to Use Service Virtualization Software for Test Environment Management

Service Virtualization software provides a new way for developers & testers to exercise service-based applications in incomplete, constantly evolving, and/or difficult-to-access environments. Rather than virtualizing entire services, Service Virtualization focuses on virtualizing only the specific behavior that is exercised as developers and testers execute their core use cases.

Service Virtualization was conceived to emulate the behavior of unavailable and evolving web services. Parasoft's service virtualization moves beyond the canonical service protocols to support multiple message types and protocols—JDBC, MQ, JMS, and more.  This extended service virtualization radically reduces the configuration time, hardware overhead, and data management efforts involved in standing up and managing a realistic and sustainable dev/test environment.

Read the 7 page Service Virtualization eBook to learn how Service Virtualization can help your team:

• Get concurrent 24/7 access to dependent test resources (complex, difficult-to-access systems)
• Reduce delays in parallel development efforts (e.g., Agile and other iterative processes)
• Support large-scale, high-throughput load and performance tests
• Streamline the management of interconnected environments
