Testing for Service Virtualization a Need of the Next-Gen Technologies & Devices
Clicking selfies has never been an easy task. In fact, sometimes it’s dangerous too. When you are in groups, normally the tallest person gets to take selfies or the one with necessary skills. But going by a latest update on aerial selfie drones, very soon this won’t be needed. You won’t have to worry about twisting your head or unintentionally cutting off someone’s head from the photograph with the latest Air Selfie Drone. Many such inventions and gadgets are entering the market to give that added customer experience and convenience. However, they need to worry whether the device is good enough and whether the experience is as expected. Let’s consider the drone for air selfies. You need to sync up this device that goes up to 30 feet in the air with your smartphone and then you can steer it for that perfect click. Now this can result in some great aerial landscapes and selfies too. But what does it take to ensure that such devices deliver what they promise? It takes a whole good lot of software/software applications to help connect the devices successfully. Practically, this takes immense amount of background verification and authentication of numerous aspects. But is mere mocking of an environment good enough to ensure the performance and accessibility of these applications and devices in real-time? Service Virtualization (SV) in the context of software engineering helps emulate and not just mock the behaviour of diverse components in a testing and development scenario. It could be API-driven applications, cloud-based applications, or service-oriented architectures (SOA).
