Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in 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 most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"The initial setup is quite easy to manage."
"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."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC virtualization."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"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."
"I really want to see more of the "express" kind of model, where you get a little bit for free. I'd love to be able to see you be able to edit and author tests without having to be connected to a licensed server. And then, if you want to go and execute tests, then you go and connect to the server... I think it would unblock people to be able to do a lot more work from home or from remote places, where they can't really connect to the server."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"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."
