Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's got probably the greatest amount of features, in terms of different technologies that you can automate and virtualize, out of any of the solutions out there.""The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services.""The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature.""We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far.""You can have a lot of different people with different technologies use the tool, without any programming experience at all, all the way up to people who can program. And then, the more technical that you are, the more programming you have, the more you're able to customize the tool.""In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization.""We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available.""The innovation is amazing. CA has continued to add to services that it supports, the transports that it supports, and has built all of the enterprise capabilities into the product as well."

Cons
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects.""​From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach.""It is not a stable solution.""Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements.""I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration.""DevTest is pretty massive. It's hard to tell what different parts of it can be used to do different things. They should modulize it more.""The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift.""They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."

"It would be ideal if the product offered more in terms of data virtualization or have a separate product that could be combined with this one that could offer a bit more in order to cover more of our requirements."

More Parasoft Virtualize Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
  • "There are additional fees for advanced-level technical support."
  • "I don't have the exact dollar amount, but we have spent close to $1,000,000 for a three-year agreement, for an enterprise level."
  • "There is a yearly licensing cost, and I would give it a four out of five."

    Overview

    CA Service Virtualization acts as a catalyst for DevOps by simulating constrained or unavailable systems across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This allows developers, testers and performance teams to work in parallel to accelerate app delivery, as well as to “shift-left” the app testing to improve application quality. CA Service Virtualization was previously known as LISA, the product from the ITKO acquisition.

    Go beyond basic mocking and stubbing to create a more robust simulation for APIs and services. Deploy a “digital twin” of your test environment to use as a sandbox for partner development or as a virtual endpoint for internal testing. Parasoft's service virtualization tool, Parasoft Virtualize, enables testers and developers to simulate services or data when access is unavailable or unreliable. The virtual assets can be easily integrated with other testing teams and visualized in a configurable test environment for faster failure detection and debugging with an intuitive codeless interface.
