Why should you use service virtualization? Simply, because It’s hard to stop testing because there is one component not available. As a consequence you will either not test until the component becomes available. Or you will start testing without this component. In both cases you will have issues, in the first case you will waste your time waiting for this component. While in the second case you will have inaccurate results, which will lead to a lot of problems that you couldn’t discover either. Thus, you have to use Service Virtualization. And that is one reason why you should use Service Virtualization. To know more, keep reading.
→ Reducing The Cost Of Traditional Test Environments
The traditional test environment is complex and costly. Usually you will need to use multiple servers and each server needs to be installed in a different operating system. Which means you will need a large amount of hardware to install these servers, not only this, but also you need to pay for software and maintenance. But if you use Service Virtualization, you are not going to need all of this, all you need is to pay for Service Virtualization software. Thus, you will save a lot of money.
→ Eliminate Time Spent On Set Up Test Environments
When you use the traditional test environment, you will need a lot of time to set up. And that will waste time and effort. While in Service Virtualization, you will focus only on the testing and your time and effort will be saved to something matter.
→ Discovering Issues Early
By using Service Virtualization you will not only be able to start your test early. But also It will allow you to discover issues early. When problems are discovered early, you can fix it as soon as possible. If not, you will have trouble in the future and you will lose your customer satisfaction.
→ Faster Time To Market
When you start your testing and discover issues early, you can then produce your product faster than other competitors.
Summary
In this post, we have mentioned a few reasons why you should use service virtualization. These reasons are: Reducing the cost of traditional test environments, Eliminate time spent on set up test environments, Discover issues early, and deliver products faster to market.
We are living in the digital economy, where we are interconnected and be part of the large world ecosystem that never sleeps and operates 24 hours a day across all the time zones. It will eventually have more and more services hosted in cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) , where every service is interchange via the API access, and for the continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) to be seamless for the DevSecOps across all the container power services, and for the scale of the operation, it be more and more favor service virtualization testing, rather than attempt to setup everything for the testing and all in place.
