The importance of speed in adaptation today is demonstrated by the fact that of the Fortune 500 companies from the year 2000, less than half still exist today within just thirteen years.<\/p>\n<p>Former market leaders such as BlackBerry and <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-61o86sjse1oljh3at68sse5hbyzjh55g\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">Nokia<\/span> are unable to adapt quickly enough to changing market conditions and find themselves in dire economic straits.<\/p>\n<p>The complexity of existing system landscapes makes testing time-consuming, lengthy, difficult and ultimately expensive. In these system landscapes, several internal or external service and development teams often work simultaneously at distributed locations and systems that must be coordinated in the development process.<\/p>\n<p>The availability of test systems and data is limited by different schedules, security constraints, and resource conflicts between different teams unless each team has its own image of the production <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-t73qxskcxyaw7sq314v1bmj1ob5swiri\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">SAP<\/span>-system landscape. However, this usually fails due to the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-rhn51ksevqqqrgppujqvb7bqypr5mmcn\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Costs<\/span>necessary for test licenses and separate hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Due to these limitations, elaborate tests often take place only shortly before going live, if at all.<\/p>\n<p>For functional testing, developers usually write their own test environments to at least roughly test new functionality. <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-j4aqjfm49kgvv28rm5x252rqpcycryyj\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">test<\/span> to be able to do so. This is often sufficient, but limited if dependencies on other components or - even more complex - on already existing systems are not taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>In interface tests, mock objects are often used for this purpose in order to simulate the cooperation of independent components. The earlier and better interface, data consistency, stress, load, performance and computer network tests can be performed at component test level, the less effort is required for integration tests. The earlier serious <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-63eke49puxrwvidkmmfpta4zvw5glqhy\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Error<\/span> detected and the less effort is required to rectify these <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-6alik3a9fpt4f1khd9nwyo0qp8oed36c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Error<\/span>. This is where special software solutions come in.<\/p>\n<h3>Service Virtualization<\/h3>\n<p>With service virtualization, systems and their behavior are simulated, enabling developers to work more intensively at a much earlier stage on <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-udlmns6ahlcdtvdyeog6nxeibwmp5q2w\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">test<\/span>. What is the idea behind this? If I don't have access to the live system, then I build a model of the system and simulate its behavior.<\/p>\n<p>In principle, this works in the same way as with complex climate models, which can be used to predict the weather fairly accurately, at least in the three-day short term. In this way, statistical models can be used to estimate and then simulate the system behavior of IT systems. This requires data points from which a model of reality can be estimated.<\/p>\n<p>The term \"estimated\" is deliberately chosen here because a model can never exactly represent the natural system behavior. But today's approximations are considerable and lead to significant improvements in testing. A study by Voke shows the improvements that can result from the use of service virtualization:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shorter wait time for resources: Most users wait only half as long or not at all.<\/li>\n<li>Participants reported significant, measurable benefits:<\/li>\n<li>Software cycles shortened by 23 percent<\/li>\n<li>Test cycles shortened by 58 percent<\/li>\n<li>24 percent shorter <span id=\"urn:enhancement-bd1fa0e0-ebe0-0e08-5428-4c22bfb7e085\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Time-to-Market<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li>increased by 45 percent <span id=\"urn:enhancement-39bc95b7-ff05-8b86-b8e3-3a16bd0eb68b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">Test coverage<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li>22 percent fewer production defects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The better the measurements on which the modeling is based, the better the model. Providers of such test software suites are CA Technologies, <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-wcwis18g4kt3bettx0bsg587ihduqo7q\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">HP<\/span>, <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-kg3mx3a2vv7iof17p8mcigjn5uw9rz2h\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">IBM<\/span>, Panaya and other smaller players.<\/p>\n<p>What the different suites have in common is that they feature automated modeling, in which the software virtually learns the system behavior by reading and recording the communication protocols that are exchanged between the systems in production operation.<\/p>\n<p>From the recordings of the communication protocols of the systems such as. <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-dpfwbb424n8pxaseoims2rxwm88l7hda\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">XML<\/span>SOAP, quantitative variables such as response times can be read out. These can be used to simulate response times, for example in performance tests.<\/p>\n<p>Data models can be abstracted from the transmitted data in the logs. Thus, by analyzing the responses of a surrounding system, certain patterns can be found and dynamized in the resulting model, for example, values that were identical in the request and response, or date values that always lie a certain time in the future or past (delivery date, value date). This works especially well when dealing with open standardized protocols such as SOAP, which are transmitted via a bus system.<\/p>\n<p>For highly integrated or older <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-8759p1y1c46sjk9j349oviac87vpzho3\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">SAP<\/span>-systems, however, this type of modeling has its limitations. In these cases the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-fla9p0m2wv3lh9dq78zg5f5ili3fpt7r\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">SAP<\/span>-systems via remote function calls (RFCs). These <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-nozg6vkpeu0n3aiudjbds96mhvwztawj\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">SAP<\/span>-specific protocol type is characterized by the fact that communication is very efficient, but also very complex due to its complexity.<\/p>\n<p>The complexity of RFCs makes them difficult to access for test model environments. On the other hand, in <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-aozoq6q6polvvg70760rfzt0wekg756i\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-place\">Germany<\/span> still around a quarter of the <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-yw1xla4muo6hf5x07qjf9d5mfscag42u\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-organization\">SAP<\/span>-customers to use legacy R\/3 systems, which often run in parallel with modern <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-ryrse7t8xpu90k02s2mlf30yd2y3qdiu\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">SAP ERP<\/span>-systems are driven and their functionality is required.<\/p>\n<p>Just in <span id=\"urn:local-text-annotation-cbt0akszy8jwg63knv7n0pnpu9y47aev\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-place\">Germany<\/span> RFC protocols are therefore still used very frequently.
