SmartBear marks its presence in the service virtualization market with its offering, ServiceV Pro. Modern applications depend heavily on services such as APIs and databases and hence the testing capabilities also depend on these components. ServiceV Pro ensures the availability of such dependencies as standins by virtualizing services when they are unavailable. This helps the testing teams to shift left their capabilities leading to continuous delivery of applications. ServiceV Pro allows to create virtual services from scratch or to use existing services to generate a new one. VirtServer allows the users to deploy the virtualized services to either a local server or to a server on the cloud, which can be shared within the teams.

IBM provides the IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server which allows the end-user to test the software initially and more regularly throughout the SDLC.
