Examples of bottlenecks—or constraints—include access to mainframe or ERP test environments, lack of test data, access to third-party systems, and budget limitations. Often, constraints are created parallel development teams seeking access to the same environments. Often, teams try to either copy a complete environment in a test lab, or “mock up” responsive systems by coding their own versions for test purposes. This can become a costly and time-consuming endeavor. Opportunity In essence, Service Virtualization (SV) is the productization of the practice of “mocking and stubbing” dev and test environments, with enough realism and context to push development forward faster, while shifting testing left in the lifecycle so integration and release processes can happen faster, with higher quality and less risk.

  • The Next Generation of Test Environment Management
    Service Virtualization: The Next Generation of Test Environment Management Today's complex, interdependent systems wreak havoc on parallel development and functional/performance testing efforts—significantly impacting productivity, quality, and project timelines. As systems become more complex and interdependent, development and quality efforts are further complicated by constraints that limit developer and tester access to realistic test environments. These constraints often include: Missing/unstable components Evolving development environments Inaccessible 3rd party/partner systems and services Systems that are too complex for test labs (mainframes or large ERPs) Internal and external resources with multiple "owners" Although hardware and OS virtualization technology has provided some relief in terms of reduced infrastructure costs and increased access, significant gaps still exist for software development and testing. It is not feasible to leverage hardware or OS virtualization for many large systems such as mainframes and ERPs. And more pointedly, configuring and maintaining the environment and data needed to support development and test efforts still requires considerable time and resources. As a result, keeping complex staged environment in synch with today's constantly-evolving Agile projects is a time-consuming, never-ending task. This paper introduces Service Virtualization: a new way to provide developers and testers the freedom to exercise their applications in incomplete, constantly evolving, and/or difficult-to-access

  • CA LISA® Service Virtualization
    DATA SHEET CA LISA® Service Virtualization At a Glance Applications are essential to business today, yet time-to-market, development cost, and application quality remain significant challenges. The complexity and constraints inherent to composite application development continue to disrupt application development efforts despite ever-increasing investment and focus. The CA LISA® product suite simulates constrained or unavailable systems and networks conventional virtualization cannot touch. The CA LISA solutions are designed to allow customers to more effectively develop in parallel, require less infrastructure for software development, and find defects earlier in the application development process. This means applications delivered to market faster, lower costs for application development systems and environments, and higher quality applications for end users. Key Benefits /Results Business Challenges Most new enterprise applications are built in modern, distributed environments, supported The CA LISA suite delivers a proven solution by multiple service teams and delivery partners. This makes development and testing to the problems of system dependency, cost extremely complex and expensive.

  • Service Virtualization, Performance Testing, and Devops at Comcast
    CASE STUDY Service Virtualization, Performance Testing, and DevOps at Comcast By Frank Jennings, Director TQM Performance Testing at Comcast Case Study Service Virtualization, Performance Testing, and DevOps at Comcast OVERVIEW Before service virtualization, Comcast's Performance Testing team often ran into scheduling conflicts around sharing the test infrastructure. Sometimes downstream systems were not available. Other times, test engineers would try to run tests at the same time, which could affect the test results. This led to variability between tests, which made it challenging to isolate particular problems. Learn about the results Comcast achieved after successfully implementing service virtualization—and why service virtualization is a key component of our DevOps initiative. 98 65 60 INTERFA ANNUAL REDU INVOLVED REDUCTION AGING in tests that are of time spent creating environment now virtualized. & maintaining test data. downtime. 2 Case Study Service Virtualization, Performance Testing, and DevOps at Comcast THE CHALLENGES My team at Comcast executes performance testing across a number of verticals in the company—from business services, to our enterprise services platform, to customer-facing UIs, to the backend systems that perform the provisioning and activation of the devices for the subscribers on the Comcast network. While our testing targets (AUTs) typically have staged environments that accurately represent the performance of the production systems, the staging systems for the AUT’s dependencies do not. Complicating the matter further was the fact that these environments were difficult to access. When we did gain access, we would sometimes bring down the lower environments (the QA or integration test environments) because they weren't adequately scaled and just could not handle the load.

  • Service Virtualization in Mainframe Environments: Removing Constraints to Speed Development with Higher Quality and Lower Cost
    EXECUTIVE BRIEF | SEPTEMBER 2014 Service Virtualization in Mainframe Environments: Removing Constraints to Speed Development with Higher Quality and Lower Cost Executive summary Mainframe systems form the IT backbone for many organizations, providing back-end transaction processing, databases and reporting functionality. Although they are often thought of as legacy systems, this misleading characterization discounts the fact that these systems often hold critical business logic and still receive heavy investment. Organizations that develop and test applications in mainframe environments have struggled to keep up with users’ increasing demands for innovative, new functionality. For one, mainframe development can require decades’ worth of legacy expertise, which is in danger of disappearing as a generation of workers approach retirement. In addi- tion, modern, client-facing applications driven by the mainframe are being accessed by growing numbers of users via smartphones, tablets and other devices – stressing mainframes in unforeseen ways. Finally, there is the significant cost of sourcing the additional MIPS needed to support new development and test requirements within the mainframe – not to mention the time and resources required to install these complex systems. Because of these factors, new challenges have arisen within mainframe development and test operations, such as unavailable systems, inability to accurately model perfor- mance and complex test data requirements. However, by employing service virtualiza- tion to model the core business logic in mainframe platforms and their integrations with other in-house and third-party systems, teams can free themselves of these constraints, leading to faster build and test cycles, higher quality applications and lower costs. By employing service virtualization to model the core business logic in mainframe platforms and their integrations with other in-house and third-party systems, teams can free themselves of constraints, leading to faster build and test cycles, higher quality applications and lower costs.

  • Fitch Delivers High Code Coverage & Quality for Microservices Applications
    CASE STUDY Fitch Delivers High Code Coverage & Quality for Microservices Applications Case Study Fitch Delivers High Code Coverage & Quality for Microservices Applications OVERVIEW Fitch Solutions is a world-leading provider of credit intelligence and the primary distributor of Fitch Ratings content. Today, 90% of the world's leading financial institutions, multinational companies, governmental bodies, and consulting firms based in more than 118 countries depend on Fitch content to inform their business decisions. They are a global leader in financial information services with operations in more than 30 countries. Fitch Solutions follows a microservice architecture with over 200 microservices. The majority of those microservices are based on Java Spring Boot, while some use Vue.js and C++. The Fitch Solutions team responsible for these services includes more than 50 developers spread out across the world. CODE COVERAGE DOWNTIME YOY PRODUCTIVITY 90% 0 days +12% 2 Case Study Fitch Delivers High Code Coverage & Quality for Microservices Applications THE CHALLENGES Fitch had three main problems to solve: » Unplanned downtime » Lack of feedback for developers » Rigid two week release cycles UNPLANNED DOWNTIME In 2019, Fitch had 18 incidents that caused their website to go down due to breakages in the production environment. These unplanned outages were related to either their own APIs or other products that they host. Eighteen incidents averaged to more than once a month. That's bad news for the service level agreements (SLA) and their clients. LACK OF FEEDBACK FOR DEVELOPERS The software development team at Fitch Solutions is fluid. Developers move from project to project so it's common for them to work on and become responsible for microservices unknown to them.
