Service modeling and virtualization

摘要

The systems and methods described herein can be used to provide virtual service environments. In one embodiment, a virtual service model is generated by detecting one or more transactions, each of which includes a request sent from a requester to a software service and a response sent from the software service to the requester; storing information describing the detected transactions in a virtual service model, where the information describing each transaction includes information identifying a command included in the request and information identifying a response attribute included in the response; and generating information describing an unknown transaction, where the information describing the unknown transaction includes information identifying a first command and information identifying a first response attribute. The first command and the first response attribute are copies of a corresponding command and a corresponding response attribute associated with a corresponding one of the detected transactions.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
monitoring a plurality of transactions involving a particular software service; identifying transaction information describing a particular request of the particular software service included in a particular one of the transactions and a particular response by the particular software service to the particular request in the particular transaction; and generating a virtual service model from the transaction information, wherein the virtual service model models responses of the particular software service to requests in a plurality of transaction types, the virtual service model is based on the captured requests and responses in the plurality of transactions, and the virtual service model is to be processed, using one or more processor devices, to provide a virtualized service to simulate the particular software service by generating virtualized responses of the particular software service to requests by another software component.
