"Catch the defects before it is too late"

4/5

What do you like best about Broadcom Service Virtualization?

One can test in virtual services instead of production services. Integration testing can be done much earlier, reduced testing cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadcom Service Virtualization?

None. May be the skills of testers. Many of the existing testers are not skilled in service virtualization or they prefer the old traditional way of developing and testing. A proper change management is required before service virtualization becomes the new culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Broadcom Service Virtualization solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time and money in application development and enhancement. Service virtualization provides the flexibility of testing early and removing the bottlenecks much before. Without this, the dev team must wait for an almost ready and deployed product to start functional, Integration and other testing efforts. If they find any error (which is OK at this stage also), it is already late to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Industry Standard Tool"

4/5

What do you like best about Broadcom Service Virtualization?

The tool is widely available and one of market leaders in service virtualization. It's easier to use and also compatible in most cases. It helps to save money for not needing to have an actual servers for the applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Broadcom Service Virtualization?

One of the things I don't really like is the lack of scalability. As the usage increases, it doesn't have an effective way to scale up to meet the growing needs. Also, it's not compatible for some hardwares and applications. You can't virtualize anything with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
