Palveluvälitteisyys
Palveluvälitteisyys, often translated as service mediation or service virtualization, is a concept and a set of practices used in software development and IT operations. It refers to the ability to create simulated or virtual versions of services that are not yet available, are difficult to access, or are too costly to use during development, testing, or other operational phases. The goal is to enable the development and testing of components that depend on these services without requiring direct access to the real service.
This technique is particularly useful in complex, distributed systems where multiple services interact with each other.
Service mediation can involve various tools and techniques, such as creating mock services, stubbing, or using
