Course Summary

The BlazeMeter Service Virtualization feature lets you dynamically create virtual services that remove constraints and dependencies by standing in for external or internal resources that may not be readily available.

The BlazeMeter Service Virtualization: Advanced Features course uses a combination of on-screen reading, video demonstrations, guided exercises, and a final exam to teach you how to use many of the advanced features that are available within BlazeMeter Service Virtualization.

In this course, we will:

  • Introduce the different methods for creating a virtual service and demonstrate how to edit transaction requests
  • Show how to parameterize request values and add dynamic response data to your transactions
  • Explain how to bulk deploy multiple virtual services at one time
  • Demonstrate how to get the most value from your virtual services by integrating them with the BlazeMeter testing platform
  • Teach you how to share transactions by integrating BlazeMeter with open source tools, such as WireMock
  • Explore how to perform virtual service functions from an API and access the available API documentation and tools
