It is possible to simulate a real production environment as soon as the developer is ready to test the code using GreenHat Rational testing products.  The GreenHat testing simulations can be used to access what the workload behavior will be after the new application is rolled out.  Reduced time and effort to test new code are significant because reduced IT complexity makes it easier for teams to support key business priorities.
