SOA Testing Services
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) can mean different things to different people depending on the person's role and context. From a business perspective, SOA defines a set of business services composed to capture the business design that the enterprise wants to expose internally, to its customers and partners. From an architecture perspective, SOA is an architectural style that supports service orientation. At an implementation level, SOA is fulfilled using a standards based infrastructure, programming model and technologies such as Web Services. From an operational perspective, SOA includes a set of agreements between service consumers and providers that specify the quality of service, as well as reporting on the key business and IT metrics.
GTEN: SOA Test Methodology
SOA is loosely coupled with complex interdependencies and a SOA testing approach for it must follow the same pattern. We divide the SOA architecture into domains, such as services, security, and governance and test each domain separately using the recommended approach and tools.
GTEN Test team designs the test approach and plans for SOA based on micro level understanding of how all of the components work independently and collectively.
