3. Agenda
SOA – Quick look
Importance of quality in SOA
Traditional Software Testing
SOA Testing
Challenges in SOA Testing
SOA Testing in practice
Open Source SOA testing tools
4. Glance at SOA
A Service Oriented Architecture is a set of components which can be
invoked and whose interface descriptions can be published and
discovered.
16. Traditional Software Testing
Test execution starts when an end-to-end solution is ready
Higher UI interactions
UI oriented test automation
Too much focus on black-box testing
18. SOA Testing
• Component based testing
• Bottom-up test execution
• Early involvement in testing
• Collaborative testing
• Interop testing
• System testing (End-to-End)
19. SOA Testing
• Test Automation
Unit
Integration
End-to-End
• Continuous Integration
• Performance Testing
20. SOA Testing – Planning and Design
• Study business requirements
• Identify components
• Identify service consumers
• Identify message exchanging patterns (MEPs)
• Identify testing techniques
• Set scope
21. SOA Testing Challenges
• Complex standards and specifications
• Message oriented tests
• Headless applications
• Defect isolation
• Complex test environments due to higher level of integrations
• Heterogeneous platforms
• Cloud complexities
24. Component Level Testing – Web Services
• Understand WSDL
• Mock Services based testing
• Service level performance testing
25. Web Services Testing with Quality Of Services
(QoS)
• Service access is restricted using various policies (security,
throttling)
• WS-Security
• WS-RM
27. Open Source Tools for SOA Testing – SOAPUI
• Easy-to-use
• Can be used for both functional and performance testing
• WS-* Support
• Service mocking
28. Open Source Tools for SOA Testing – Jmeter
• SOAP/XML-RPC or WebService Samplers can be used
• Can be used for both functional and performance testing
• Data-driven testing
30. Engagement Model
