Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "It has very easy and good validation techniques used for SWIFT, XSD, and WSDL validations."
  • "As we have used most of the MQ stub, "MQ recording" is the most useful feature."

Room for Improvement

  • "User friendliness: I would rate it somewhere around 5/10 in terms of user-friendliness. It can be simpler to build stubs and middle-ware based test cases compared to the solution given by RTVS."
  • "Reporting: In the recent release of RCPT, the "Usage graph" feature is included, but that still needs improvements in terms of UI and timeline filtering criteria."

Pricing

  • "IBM RTVS is not that expensive compare to other giants, but it is still much ahead of some other tool having less features."
  • "The product has a free trial available, which has saves on the initial investment costs."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.

Product version discussed: 9.1
Using service virtualization, we are able to accelerate the testing and development activity

Pros

"As we have used most of the MQ stub, "MQ recording" is the most useful feature. "

Cons

"Reporting: In the recent release of RCPT, the "Usage graph" feature is included, but that still needs improvements in terms of UI and timeline filtering criteria. "

How has it helped my organization?

The tool is helping us to build various virtual services for various middle layer components: MQ, REST, and SOAP services.

Using service virtualization, we are able to accelerate the testing and development activity.

Without SV, integration testing would not have been smooth and fast in the lower environment

What is most valuable?

As we have used most of the MQ stub, "MQ recording" is the most useful feature. Its flexibility to configure various MQ recording methods as per the implementation and "pass through" feature.

I would recommend it due to the robust infrastructure implementation and good technical support supporting standards

What is most valuable?

We use it for service virtualization in our company.

I am reviewing this product more for its Rational Test Virtualization Server - RTVS feature (the RIT aspect). The RTVS tool is something that comes in a package along with the Rational Test Workbench.

What needs improvement?

The main feature of the product is to support you with service virtualization for various components. However, some peripheral features need vast improvement, namely the reporting and the dashboard areas.

I work very closely with the IBM product management team, and I know that in the next release, they are going to drop in some of these reporting features.

It helped us to build IBM MQ based stubs and automated test cases. I would like it to be more user friendly.

Pros

"It has very easy and good validation techniques used for SWIFT, XSD, and WSDL validations."

Cons

"User friendliness: I would rate it somewhere around 5/10 in terms of user-friendliness. It can be simpler to build stubs and middle-ware based test cases compared to the solution given by RTVS."

How has it helped my organization?

It helped us to build IBM MQ based stubs and automated test cases swiftly. Organization for which I use this in exploring the latest technologies and IBM MQ is wide spread among all. IBM RTVS helped to play with MQ where RFH, RFH2 headers were used to carry data.

What is most valuable?

IBM RTVS has many useful features, but support for IBM MQ over this tool is unbeatable. It has very easy and good validation techniques used for SWIFT, XSD, and WSDL validations. Another feature is where we can specify optional nodes/tags of XML or any other type of message format within the test and stub definitions. This is also unbeatable.

Tool for development, process, and project management automation.

What is most valuable?

The tokens can be reconfigured after their use. You can go and make use cases out of the tokens.

The solution can do automation for:

  • Development
  • Process
  • Project management

That means the token is multi-faceted. It has multi-use features which are actually very affordable.

What needs improvement?

They need to move it to the cloud. I don't think there is a big challenge out there. The limit, per se, is not there. It is still expensive.
