Learn how an environments-based approach to testing can unlock CI/CD potential.

In the complexity of today’s connected, composite applications, there are more barriers to automating realistic end-to-end testing than ever before. Dependent components are expensive to set up and use, and with today’s diverse environments, connectivity fabric, and IoT-enabled security threats, it can be nearly impossible to set the proper conditions in a test environment to validate your composite apps. Given these challenges, how can you position yourself for success while driving towards automation?

Service virtualization provides organizations with fully-functioning test environments to be spun up as a part of a Test Automation strategy. Join this session to learn how to:

  • Store complex test configurations as a template to deploy in your CI/CD process
  • Simulate realistic, real-world behavior of dependencies stemming from outages, unexpected loads, denial of service attacks, etc.
  • Sandwich applications between predictable tests and consistent environments to maximize control during dynamic execution
