Approaching a Conflict in Style

Conflict is inevitable at work. Sooner or later, you will disagree about what to test, when to test, or how long to test software. How you and the person you disagree with approach the conflict affects both the outcome and how you feel about the exchange. In this column, Esther Derby explains some of the ways people approach conflict and how they affect solutions and relationships.

SOA and Agile Development: Continuous Integration And Testing

IT organizations view the adoption of agile development methods as a way of bringing an "integrated team" approach to the product development lifecycle where everyone is focused on early, frequent demonstrated results. The second shared goal is service-oriented architecture (SOA). SOA is an approach to deliver integrated component-based ecosystems that are assembled to efficiently execute critical business processes. The goal of SOA is to be flexible and adaptive to the constantly changing business climate. These two productive approaches, when applied concurrently, are setting the stage for the next evolution in the deployment of technology to enhance business performance and results.

Utility Standard - A Pony in the Pile A Pony in the Pile - A Curmudgeon's View of SOA Adoption

I have been in and around Web Services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for a long time. I have built distributed systems for fifteen or more years. I have scars from the Great Web Service Euphoria of '99 to '01. I have gray hair from dealing with the security and management problems of building real services in real networks. I have followed the standards as they have matured. I have observed and worked with clients as they considered and confronted SOA. Here is my conclusion: real SOA is so complex and organizations are so far from ready for it, that the only sound SOA adoption strategy demands agile program management techniques. Nothing less will suffice to guide and sustain an organization through the SOA evolution.
