solution overview | August 2017
Large IT enterprises continuously face constraints while testing complex systems due to unavailability of dependent components which are under development. Systems like mainframes and dependency on Third Party Services lead to delay in projects. In such cases, teams try to simulate the complete environment through test labs and stubs, which is a time consuming and expensive process.
Service Virtualization is an elegant solution to this problem. Service Virtualization emulates the behavior of a component in Component Based Architecture, where multiple components are dependent on each other and may be in various stages of development. Through Shift-left testing, integration and release processes can happen faster, with better quality and lower cost. More and more organizations, globally are implementing and reaping the benefits of Service Virtualization.
Service Virtualization has helped:
• 36% Companies reduce production defects by 41%• 33% Companies decrease test cycle time by 50%
Solution Overview
Cognizant SmartStub
Shift-Left through Service Virtualization
Cognizant SmartStub
SmartStub is an integrated revolutionarytechnology for next generation servicevirtualization platforms. It is an advancedproduct-form of the common IT exercise known as “mocking and stubbing.”
SmartStub has been designed by taking leads from practical business needs, trends, technologies and business models. It offers classical service virtualization functionalities to satisfy need of large enterprises as well as small, medium business customers.
SmartStub is extremely lightweight and can be hosted on cloud and Virtual Machines. This tool offers similar functionality as industry tools, at a fraction of the price. With open architecture, minimum configuration requirements and virtually zero customization, it is quick and simple to deploy.
SmartStub can eliminate upto 20% CAPEX on commercial tools, improve upto 60% in test coverage and save more than 90% manual effort.
Why SmartStub?
SmartStub is a uniquely configurable and adaptable software system. It easily adjusts generated virtual services to fit any established or changing process, technical or business requirements. Virtualizing and mapping precisely to real-world services, SmartStub creates exact, electronic workflow of service behaviors that can be integrated and automated to the level you prefer.
SmartStub provides quick and easy integration with other enterprise tools and systems and requires minimum hardware, thereby reducing cost. Through minimal cost of license, it eliminates CAPEX on comprehensive commercial tools. It eliminates testing delays resulting in missed project deadlines. Architectural Issues impacting performance are identified in advance by early performance testing. With less than 500 milliseconds response time, it is rapidly emerging as the most preferred Service Virtualization tool for performance testing.
