SOA Testing -Challenges




SOA Testing


SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) brings new testing challenges that will require changes to your existing company test strategy if the key benefits of SOA are to be realised.


The following are examples of the new challenges:

* Many services will not have a user interface that will require a new breed of tools to assist with the testing
* Infinite 'service' consumers and users are possible
* Interoperability
* SOA can be boundless! Services may be used by applications yet to be developed or by consumers outside the enterprise
* 'Loosely-coupled' connections that allow unforeseen applications to take advantage of ever-expanding capabilities
* SOA is driven by business processes that not only cross technologies but span organizations. Test teams will require a broader set of domain and technical knowledge.
