Cons
"User friendliness: I would rate it somewhere around 5/10 in terms of user-friendliness. It can be simpler to build stubs and middle-ware based test cases compared to the solution given by RTVS.""Reporting: In the recent release of RCPT, the "Usage graph" feature is included, but that still needs improvements in terms of UI and timeline filtering criteria."

More IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server Cons →

"The solution does not allow you to export APIs to the cURL command like Postman.""The effort required to utilize the capabilities/usage of ServiceV Pro looks like the one area where we could have some further improvements""ServiceV still has some bug in the tools, such as structure of the project, integration, and combination with different tools present.""Requires more documentation or videos with examples, which is easily understood by the new users.""Greater capacity to create Virtual APIs based on HAR files or wireshark recordings.""It needs support for a wider set of protocols."

    Overview

    Testing environments are often expensive and can have limited availability. IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server helps you shift testing to the left by removing dependencies on components that are unavailable or already in use. These components are simulated at the API layer, supporting a wide variety of technologies, allowing your team to test the riskiest elements earlier in the delivery lifecycle.

    API virtualization in ServiceV Pro helps you deliver great APIs on time and under budget, and does so for a fraction of the cost typically associated with traditional enterprise service virtualization suites.
