Digitalization has encouraged businesses to leverage technology to offer their services. Thus, businesses across verticals, such as Banking. Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI), retail and ecommerce, media and entertainment, healthcare, and automotive, have started focusing on their software-enabled offerings to gain a competitive advantage over rivals. The adoption of Agile and DevOps practices by the software development teams to deliver software applications has increased. This has resulted in the need for shift left strategies where the software is tested earlier in parallel and more often with the development for continuous testing. Service virtualization solutions simulate unavailable systems, web services, applications, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), or databases by emulating their dynamic behavior, data, and performance. These solutions help create a testing environment that uses these virtual services to accelerate the testing of application and improve the quality of the Application Under Test (AUT). Thus, service virtualization enables continuous testing by simulating the behavior of the unavailable components for end-to-end testing of the application

COMPETITIVE LEADERSHIP MAPPING TERMINOLOGY

The vendors are placed into 4 categories based on their performance in each criterion: “Visionary Leaders,” “Innovators,” “Dynamic Differentiators,” and “Emerging Companies.” The players evaluated include Cigniti, Sogeti, SQS, Wipro, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Planit, Maveric Systems Limited, Prolifics, Tobania, Tech Mahindra, ITC Infotech, Capgemini, SmartBear, Parasoft, Micro Focus, IBM, CA Technologies, Tricentis, Cavission Systems Inc., Axway, Crosscheck Networks, Delphix, Postdot Technologies, WireMock, and Solution-Soft.
