Course Description

The unavailability of back-end services is a common blocker for early testing. Virtual services help you ensure the quality of your web app even if underlying services are not yet available – and with BlazeMeter, service virtualization can even be data driven. Either create stand-alone virtual services that respond to requests with your custom data, or use data-driven virtual services as backend for Performance or GUI Functional tests.
