Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET." "The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature." "The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services." "There are several areas that are easily configurable." | "It has very easy and good validation techniques used for SWIFT, XSD, and WSDL validations." "As we have used most of the MQ stub, "MQ recording" is the most useful feature." |
Cons | |
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented." "The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift." "It is not a stable solution." "I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization." | "User friendliness: I would rate it somewhere around 5/10 in terms of user-friendliness. It can be simpler to build stubs and middle-ware based test cases compared to the solution given by RTVS." "Reporting: In the recent release of RCPT, the "Usage graph" feature is included, but that still needs improvements in terms of UI and timeline filtering criteria." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"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."

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. | Testing environments are often expensive and can have limited availability. IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server helps you shift testing to the left by removing dependencies on components that are unavailable or already in use. These components are simulated at the API layer, supporting a wide variety of technologies, allowing your team to test the riskiest elements earlier in the delivery lifecycle. |
