Guideline: Bypass Blocking Defects


Scenario: As defects are discovered, some may actually block the testing effort from proceeding. Testers may be forced to wait for the fix before being able to continue and development priorities may result in the fix being delayed. This creates a testing bottleneck!

Service virtualization eliminates bottlenecks and increases productivity.

  • Deploy a virtual service to simulate the required functionality and behavior replacing the defective component.
  • Continue testing without delay.
  • Replace the virtual service with the updated source code without having to redeploy your entire application.
