Service virtualization
_Simulation of dependency behavior
_Oblivious to dependency implementation
_Virtual assets
Virtual asset creation
_Record and playback
_Based on specifications
Implementation considerations
_Start small
_Model just enough
_Learn and expand
Testing process benefits
_Test earlier
_Test more often
_Test more
Taking service virtualization to the next level_Continuous Delivery integration
_Containerization
_Cloud
Test environments on demand
_Recreate exact same initial situation every time
_Always available
_Scalable
