Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There are several areas that are easily configurable.""It is definitely scalable.""It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility.""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.""The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market.""The most valuable feature is that it supports so many protocols. We, being a large bank, have almost all the protocols, and it supports all of them, so that's one good thing.""Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments.""The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."

"You can push transactions through to live, and you can intercept some transactions and return them back with mocked data."

Cons
"I really want to see more of the "express" kind of model, where you get a little bit for free. I'd love to be able to see you be able to edit and author tests without having to be connected to a licensed server. And then, if you want to go and execute tests, then you go and connect to the server... I think it would unblock people to be able to do a lot more work from home or from remote places, where they can't really connect to the server.""More examples of portal-based virtualization.""I'd like to see more of the newer technologies included in there, looking mainly from a mobile perspective, possibly, so you can virtualize some of the aspects that we're going to be doing for mobile testing.""We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog.""I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration.""CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one.""UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented.""​From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."

    Overview

    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.

    Tosca Testsuite’s Orchestrated Service Virtualization (OSV) allows enterprises to simulate the behavior of any service needed in your application. It also allows enterprises to create business scenarios that are able to simulate complex business processes even before the completion of your application. OSV offers the independence necessary to avoid costly delays and enables earlier testing within the product cycle.
