CA Technologies, a Broadcom Company is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. In accordance with the Broadcom Support Policies here, please consider this email your written notification that we are discontinuing technical support for Service Virtualization 10.6 effective March 1, 2023. This will allow our Development organization to more effectively focus its resources and add value to the next release of Service Virtualization.  After March 1, 2023, Broadcom will continue to make self-service support available until the end of your current maintenance term.

There are many advantages to upgrading your software and we encourage you to plan your migration to Service Virtualization 10.7. Additionally, to get the latest vulnerability remediations, we strongly recommend you upgrade to the latest version of our software.

Some of the many enhancements made to Service Virtualization 10.7 include:

  • 10.6 Workstation Compatibility: To make the upgrade process easier, older workstations (starting with 10.6) can continue to work connected to newer server components (such as 10.7). This process allows the customers to plan for their older Workstation upgrade not immediately with the SV Server components.
