Key Strategies for SOA Testing

Authored by David S. Linthicum and David Bressler

Take a minute to think about SOA, or service-oriented architecture, in the larger context of services... not just those services confined to the SOAP and WSDL specifications. Building a smart SOA infrastructure requires a unique approach to testing, and unless you’re willing to reorient your testing procedures and technology now, you may find yourself behind the curve as SOA becomes your enterprise architecture.

The E-book Key Strategies for SOA Testing, authored by David S. Linthicum,  Managing Partner at ZapThink, LLC., and David Bressler, Actional Product and Community Evangelist, will provide you with the key notions around SOA testing as well as the processes needed to effectively test a SOA, including a step-by-step guide for defining your own testing domain, understanding your unique needs, and then testing all components in such a way as to ensure that your SOA will be productive and useful from the first day of operation.

Here is a snapshot of what you'll take away from reading this E-book:

• SOA Testing, the Basics
• Creating a SOA Test Plan
• Step-by-step Guide to SOA Testing

The E-book will also introduce technology such as Actional Team Server, an important component of Progress® Actional® Application Development and Progress® Actional® Enterprise? When used with the SOA testing approaches defined in this E-book, Actional will provide a strategic advantage through automation and repeatability.
