Testing in an SOA Environment

Testing Web applications built with service-oriented architecture (SOA) is not the same as testing any other GUI-based application. Testing teams encounter major challenges including errors due to unexpected changes in internal and external services, compliance verification requirements, industry-specific standards, security issues, and more. To address these challenges, teams must adopt new testing methodologies that focus on ensuring the quality of services (QoS) deployed under the SOA development framework. Join Sanjeev Padasalgi as he explains how to plan and deploy a complementary SOA testing framework that addresses compliance, governance, and overall QoS issues. Supporting functional, security, performance, and regression testing, this SOA testing framework addresses Web services testing throughout the development and delivery lifecycle. Sanjeev explores the tools you need to improve tester productivity in SOA environments and the special skills testers must develop for comprehensive SOA testing.
