Process deadlocks are endemic to parallel and Agile development environments, where different teams are simultaneously working on interconnected system components—and each team needs to access the others' components in order to complete its own tasks. But when a team ends up waiting for access to dependencies, agility is stifled. One way to break free of these constraints is to use service virtualization to simulate interactions between the application under test and the dependencies that are unavailable or difficult-to-access for dev/test purposes. This presentation explains how service virtualization can help you eliminate the delays created by unavailable and evolving dependencies so you can save time, money, and effort. It will also share case studies that show specific cases where service virtualization helped organizations compress their testing cycles to keep pace with the demands of Agile development.
