Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."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."
"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."
"We have been using it extensively for the shift left process and testing. It helps us to accelerate and virtualize services and assets that we don't have. It enables to test faster."
"It is definitely scalable."
"CA Service Virtualization has helped us advance the development cycle when third-party interfaces are not available to us."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"In times of DevOps, where continuous delivery and deployment is progressing at such a fast pace, ServiceV Pro has emerged as an add-on for enhancing our API product finish."
"Ties-in with the rest of the SoapUI platform and its ability to record traffic and create a virtual endpoint."
"Discovery option to create virtual services."
"ServiceV Pro enabled our organization to deliver an end-to-end solution by virtualizing external systems, which was easy to implement and provided for a lot of flexibility."
"Features, such as using Groovy scripts for generating dynamic response, which read data out of Excel sheets and one-click deployment are really nice."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"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."
"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."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"I'd like to see more of the newer technologies included in there, looking mainly from a mobile perspective, possibly, so you can virtualize some of the aspects that we're going to be doing for mobile testing."
"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."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"The effort required to utilize the capabilities/usage of ServiceV Pro looks like the one area where we could have some further improvements"
"The solution does not allow you to export APIs to the cURL command like Postman."
"ServiceV still has some bug in the tools, such as structure of the project, integration, and combination with different tools present."
"Greater capacity to create Virtual APIs based on HAR files or wireshark recordings."
"Requires more documentation or videos with examples, which is easily understood by the new users."
"It needs support for a wider set of protocols."
