Valuabe Features

For CA Service Virtualization, it’s the ability to quickly prototype something. My guys really like the ability where they can do the recording session. It’s a way for them to initialize for existing services where they need to get it up and running.

I think the most valuable feature is the ability to quickly create simulations of APIs that you use to dis-connect you from your dependencies as part of your testing process.

We’ve really done two different scenarios. One is the creation of a new API. We were able to create a simulation before we ever wrote a line of code, and so all of our customers who would use that gave us direct feedback very quickly. In a performance environment, we have lots of dependencies, lots of services that we talk to. Having the simulations gave us the ability to run test when we want rather than when they’re available.
