Best Service Virtualization Software

Adam Crivello
AC
Researched and written by Adam Crivello

Service virtualization software allows developers to test their applications by simulating various components of the eventual production environment. This software serves as a stand-in for elements that developers often have limited access to during testing, such as application programming interface (API) connections. By running tests in an environment that emulates complex interactions between real-world systems, development teams can find relevant issues early in the development process. This keeps software delivery efficient and streamlined while preemptively solving problems that would otherwise lead to delays.

Service virtualization software is closely related to automation testing software, and often includes automation testing capabilities. However, automation testing automates the execution of specific test parameters, whereas service virtualization enables tests to be performed by mimicking real-world system behavior.

To qualify for inclusion in the Service Virtualization category, a product must:

Simulate otherwise inaccessible production components for testing
Emulate service and dependency behavior
Allow assets to be shared between team members
