A Hands-on Workshop on Service Virtualization w Hoverfly - Paul Merrill

What is service virtualization and how does it hasten testing? Agile teams tend to struggle in getting development and testing in sync. Many teams run minified waterfalls, where testers get working code a few days before the end of the sprint. It’s rare that a tool will help. But Service Virtualization is one of those rare tools that can make a huge impact and accelerate software delivery by limiting the dependencies needed for testing.

Workshop Takeaways:

• Get an introduction to service virtualization with a freely available open-source tool. Learn the 5 modes of service virtualization: capture,
  simulate, spy, synthesize, and modify. Return to your workplace on Thursday with one more tool in your tool chest. Paul walks through a
  common scenario for service virtualization and teaches you how you can test faster by testing less! Join Paul for this introductory demo of
  service virtualization.
