A Service Virtualization Approach to Agile SOA Testing
Service virtualization emulates the behavior of services in a virtual environment to address the challenges of Service-Oriented Architecture testing. Significantly, it accelerates testing and development when supported by a robust implementation methodology, according to Infosys' expert.
In an article published in Testing Experience magazine, our expert discusses the potential of service virtualization in SOA testing:
- Interoperability - Interoperable services in the production environment and interoperability of development teams during implementation facilitate parallel development and testing of projects
- Integration - Third party or partner services that face issues impacting test data setup or development time can be released for testing promptly
- Resource optimization - Sophisticated tools that emulate the behavior of scarce and expensive SOA components such as mainframes, services and database systems help optimize resource utilization
