The "3 C's" of SOA Testing |
|
Services-Oriented Architectures, or SOA, have allowed companies to flexibly string together new and existing software components as services in a business workflow. These next-generation apps are no longer built through long-term "big-bang" projects. Instead, they are integrated as workflows in smaller intervals, and consumed at runtime. Services-based business applications are entering the mainstream. Gartner estimates that 60% of enterprise development groups are planning or in the midst of an SOA initiative for 2006, and by 2009, more than 80% of development and integration budgets will be dedicated to applications delivered as an SOA. Quality will become a primary governor on the enterprise's success in successfully achieving the promise of SOA. With so many interconnected parts making up applications that can be delivered virtually anywhere, testing no longer becomes a mere matter of finding bugs within the developer's code, or problems that occur on the screen a given user interface. Software quality processes must evolve with the architecture, to genuinely test a business process and maintain context across the entire workflow. |
