The demand to accelerate software delivery and for teams to continuously test and release high quality software sooner has never been greater. However, whether your release strategy is based on schedule or quality, the entire delivery process hits the wall when agility stops at testing. When software/services that are part of the delivered system or required environments are unavailable for testing, the entire team suffers. Al Wagner explains how to remove these testing interruptions, decrease project risk, and release higher quality software sooner. Using a real-life example, Al shows you how service virtualization can be applied across the lifecycle to shift integration, functional, and performance testing to the left. Gain an understanding of how service virtualization can be incorporated into your automated build and deployment process, making continuous testing a reality for your organization. Learn what service virtualization can do for you and your stakeholders. The ROI is worth it!
