Service Virtualization: Streamlining Development of Complex Applications

A new strategy is emerging to streamline the traditionally complex and difficult-to-manage government software development cycle. Called service virtualization, this strategy involves capturing and simulating the behavior, data and performance characteristics of dependent systems in virtual services. Developers then use those services to conduct transactions just as though they were dependent systems, and without any constraints. This Government Technology Thought Leadership Profile, underwritten by CA Technologies, brings clarity to this new service virtualization strategy and explains how teams employing it can potentially shorten the development lifecycle by 25 to 50 percent, start debugging sooner and lower costs for their organizations.
