Parasoft Virtualize is a copy/knock off of the iTKO Lisa offering that was released to the market in 2007. To get a complete understanding of Service Virtualization search for John Mickelsen & ITKO. There are countless videos and articles about the founder of this new game changing capability as well as other subset offerings that are coming to the market in the past 2-3 years. Parasoft has attempted to clone a subset of the Lisa capabilities to enhance the developers ability to remove constraints from their development cycle. The product has the capability of virtualizing limited application features (buffer layer) so that a developer can create, deploy, and manage simulated test environments for software development and software testing purposes. These environments simulate the behavior of dependent resources that are unavailable, difficult to access, or difficult to configure for development or testing.[1] It simulates the behavior of dependent resources such as mainframes, ERP systems, databases, web services, third-party information systems, or other systems that are out of direct developer/tester control.[2] The product is used in conjunction with hardware/OS virtualization to provide developers and testers with the resources they need to execute their development and testing tasks earlier, faster, or more completely.
