Service virtualization – research input


Analysts have been studying company implementation of service virtualization and the results of those implementations for several years. They have repeatedly found that companies using service virtualization experience lower costs, greater software quality, and faster delivery. In fact, the latest research by Gartner, which analyzes a survey of over 500 companies, found that service virtualization led to the following things:

  • Dramatically increased test rates with more than a quarter of companies doubling their test execution rates

  • More than a third of companies reduced their test cycle times by at least 50 percent

  • Nearly half of the respondents saw a reduction of total defects of more than 40 percent
