SOA – A recap..
SOA is …

An IT architectural approach that ...

Supports integration of repeatable

Standard interfaces

Benefits of SOA

On Demand Business

Greater alignment of business and IT

SOA Testing Challenges

Loose coupling
 Limited view of service implementation changes
 Each ‘reuse’ leads to more dependencies

Heterogeneous environment
 Combination of legacy and new technologies
 Test team is not used to ‘UI-less’ validation

Multiple points of failure
 No clear view of point of failure
 Difficult to isolate faults due to multiple layers

Security
 Multiple security policies to be negotiated while
testing composite transactions

SOA Testing – Four pillars

Strategy
 Test early
 Test services in isolation
 Test all dependencies

People
 Re-skill the existing test team
 Induct developers into the test team

Tools
 Evaluate test harnesses
 Tests encompass functional, performance,
security and compliance
 Knowledge of debugging tools

Compliance
 Effective Service Level Management (SLM)
 Define Quality of Service based on SLM
 Prioritize service uptime

Project level
 Governance model for interactions with
development team
 Whose responsibility is it?

Service level management

 Critical in multi vendor scenario
 Can be downplayed if one does not want
to venture beyond one’s Intranet
 SLA definition and monitoring is key

Some best practices

SOA requires changes in Testing Methods and life cycle..
 Test Services in Isolation
 Test earlier in the life cycle

SOA requires testing from multiple perspectives..
 Test from the Service Providers perspective
 Test from the Service Consumers perspective
 Test from the Registry perspective

SOA requires Testing along multiple dimensions..
 Test functionality
 Test for Interoperability and compliance to standards
 Test for Security
 Test for Performance

SOA requires specialized testing skills
 Testing exclusively through GUI is insufficient
 Test using Test Harnesses to invoke services directly
 Requires both Technical and Business expertise
