Testing for SOA and the tools available in the market

Vendor Registration: required

Overview:

Service Oriented Architectures become more important each year as large enterprises leverage them to integrate wide arrays of disparate systems into a cohesive whole. SOA can reduce the cost, risk, and difficulty of replacing legacy systems, acquiring new businesses, or even extending the life of existing systems. SOA makes it easier for a large enterprise to support the broad technology base present in most enterprises, to deploy new applications, and ultimately to respond quickly to the rapidly evolving challenge of competing on the open market.

Testing a Service Oriented Architecture is an interesting and difficult challenge, requiring a solid understanding of the SOA design and underlying technology, the functional purpose of the SOA, and testing tools and techniques. View this on-demand Webcast, in which experts Michael D. Kelly and David Christiansen introduce the challenge of Testing a Service Oriented Architecture, and cover the following topics:

• Why enterprises are deploying SOA
• What an SOA looks like
• Technologies involved in an SOA
• Strategies for testing an SOA
• A survey of some of the tools available for testing an SOA
