What is Broadcom Service Virtualization?UNIXBusinessApplication
Price:

CA Service Virtualization acts as a catalyst for DevOps by simulating constrained or unavailable systems across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This allows developers, testers and performance teams to work in parallel to accelerate app delivery, as well as to “shift-left” the app testing to improve application quality. CA Service Virtualization was previously known as LISA, the product from the ITKO acquisition.

We have great support, even though we do not have an enterprise agreement. In terms of stability and scalability, if we have had any issues, we have great support. With support, it depends on the level. If it is level one, you can call. If it is level two, they will issue a support ticket and it will be addressed within 8 to 12 hours. Tier three and tier four is knowledge-based, and you are referred to their portal, and also communities.

Test Automation Architect at American family insurance

A while ago, we were looking for a tool to do testing across the web services. During that time, we were doing some PoCs on SoapUI. We did a PoC with Lisa. The company name was ITKO. After going through several PoC sessions, we figured out that this would be beneficial because the functional testing, which we would be creating for those web services, could be leveraged for performance testing as well. We have a conceptual testing document where we say, you run a single user-firing transaction against three simulators and you host your test there. Over a period of time, we matured from using web services to using all the web-based UI applications. The best part about it is that it goes one layer below the UI. It’s not dependent on the UI. It’s dependent on the transactions going back and forth between the application server and one layer below your browser. Usually, with tools like Selenium, you just click. In this case, you post a transaction and test how far it goes.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."

Room for Improvement

"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"It is not a stable solution."

Pricing

"There is a yearly licensing cost, and I would give it a four out of five."
"I don't have the exact dollar amount, but we have spent close to $1,000,000 for a three-year agreement, for an enterprise level."
"There are additional fees for advanced-level technical support."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
