Santa Clara, California, USA
What it is
Cavisson NetOcean is self-hosted software that simulates backend applications and third-party systems for quality and performance testing. It captures production-like behavior and performance characteristics, then lets teams configure responses, boundaries, and error conditions. Supported protocols include HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP/2, REST, SOAP, Hessian, IMAP, FTP, DNS, XML, JSON, WebSocket, JDBC, TCP, and UDP. Messaging support covers TIBCO JMS, TIBCO-EMS, IBM MQ, and Kafka. RESTful APIs and command-line interfaces connect NetOcean to CI/CD workflows. A web portal and thick client create, deploy, and manage virtual services, while service definitions support version control and rollback. The product can run as an appliance or virtual machine and provides stateful simulation, fault injection, database virtualization, messaging virtualization, and record-and-replay capabilities. Cavisson states that one appliance can handle 100–1000 times more load than legacy solutions. A free trial is listed, while pricing is available on request. Cavisson also provides 24×7 application health monitoring and support services covering test execution, comparison, issue reporting, and production monitoring.
