“SOA will be used in more than 80 percent of new mission-critical operational applications and business processes by 2010.” Source: Gartner, April 2007.
Pick up any IT journal or magazine and you’ll be left in no doubt that SOA and newer web technologies are on the rise and becoming significant to most organisations. This rise is welcome but also provides some unique and significant challenges and risk to businesses. For example, how do you develop your test strategy to cover multiple projects? How can you design tests that can be used for both functional and non-functional testing? How can you adequately test composite web services? Should you use the new breed of SOA testing tools or the more familiar and traditional counterparts? And, will your testing sufficiently mitigate the risk to your business through the use of components developed and tested, or not, by third parties?
This interactive 1 day workshop will be led by Dave Rigler of SQS and will explore this rapidly expanding and challenging area. You will discuss the background to SOA’s rise in prominence and, through sharing your experiences and concerns, will better understand and be prepared to meet the key challenges for testing in a SOA or Web 2.0 environment. Topics covered will include:
- The 5 reasons for using SOA
- The 5 barriers to adoption of SOA
- Removing barriers with testing
- Writing requirements for SOA
- Effective testing in a SOA environment
- Improving the users experience with AJAX and content based routing
