Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

"The most valuable feature is SAP virtualization.""The most valuable feature is that it reduces the dependency so that the down time of the environment is not a major cost. That cost can be used for something else like the cloud.""It is easy to use. This is what I tell my customers. The coding is easier to develop as well.""The feature which is most valuable in this solution is the ease of use. The product is very easy to use and very easy to implement.""The support for integration patterns and the ease of use to wizard-based utility is what I would consider the most important features for service virtualization platforms."

Cons
"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.""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."

"HPE products are good, but they never make a product for a specific use. They make a product for the enterprise because that is their vision. They like multi-generational business plans. That means that they don't deliver small bits and pieces, but rather, they deliver to the enterprise.""The current protocol needs to be updated to be much more flexible. The product needs more technical flexibility in implementation and customization.""The integration with other solutions, such as ALM and Jira, should be improved.""More support for different protocols. I would love to see more wizards rather than relying on some custom coding, which you can use C# as well as Visual Basic scripting. In the service virtualization platform, I would love to see more wizard features as well as the ability to connect to an external database, which by the way, we have put an enhancement request in for. I'd love to see that in the service virtualization platform.""The monitoring feature is not impressive because they use Windows for so much monitoring. They set a lock on the window, and then we have to gather the information from the main monitoring feature in the Windows server. There is not enough capacity for problem solving performance issues."

    Overview

    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.

    Realistic simulations of APIs and virtual services get rid of wait times that slow dev and testing down. OpenText Service Virtualization helps you remove dependencies and bottlenecks with its simulation capabilities.
