I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. The answer to this challenge is service virtualization, which allows simulating real services during testing without actual access. – Cloud.
