EBOOK The Who, What, How, When, Where and Why of DevTest Driving continuous testing with virtual services Enabling DevTest Automated, continuous testing speeds up the application delivery pipeline. The DevTest framework from CA Technologies provides By leveraging test automation and virtual services solutions that focus on shortening the development to simulate unavailable systems across the software Elements that differentiate CA and testing cycles to increase speed to market, improve development lifecycle (SDLC), developers, testers, testing with virtual services: quality, reduce infrastructure spend, and mitigate risk. integration, and performance teams can work in Components of the DevTest environment, CA Application parallel, taking advantage of increased collaborative • Parallel development and testing in a Test invokes and verifies functionality at every layer of opportunities in a DevOps-enabled IT environment.

Time-consuming, manual testing processes, manual test data management, data volatility, and data sensitivity directly impact the timely delivery of quality applications. CA Service Virtualization and CA Application Test solution set DevTest Industry-leading framework for CA Application Test companies to develop, test, and CA Service Virtualization release software with greater agility and higher quality Allows for all types of Allows for continuous testing of multi-tiered development and architectures at any layer testing of software 2 You Can Test Continuously With Virtual Services Quick, highly productive, collaborative chain of testing for the continuous delivery of quality applications Service virtualization provides testing teams across Full stack API testing the application development and delivery ecosystem Run tests across the whole stack to validate APIs at with a chain of API test capabilities that are automated every layer of a complex, multi-tiered application, and easy to maintain—saving time and effort. DevTest allowing for complex workflows and the stateful with virtual services has the ability to virtualize APIs behavior needed to achieve genuine reuse of test assets. and drive API tests at any layer, even for unavailable or isolated systems.

Service virtualization toolchain capabilities Any test, anywhere The DevTest framework from CA gives development With CA Application Test, testers can use a single tool to test APIs, UIs, and the layers that feed them. and testing teams a single tool to use to run any test, anywhere in the stack, at any time.
