icon iTKO/SAP Whitepaper : Validation and Virtualization of SAP Enterprise SOA Applications with iTKO LISA  members
While SOA promises the business value of agility and reuse to SAP customers, this practice also adds IT risk, due to the complexity of maintaining application integrity across workflows that span multiple technologies. How can companies achieve functional and performance testing strategies that are complete enough to cover SOA? Replicating full test landscapes for development and testing activities, with all the components and data needed to validate a rich business process, can be expensive and difficult to create and maintain. Services might not be fully developed, or they might be owned by external providers and accessed over the Internet.
