IT BusinessEdge: Design Time Governance for SOA |
|
|
|
|
Many analysts and industry experts within the vendor community
constantly preach that SOA won't work without governance, and yet many
companies seem to implement it as an afterthought. Why do you think
that's so?
Moreno: "I think one of the reasons is that it's very difficult for the
developer community in the design phase to embrace governance, because
it tends to hinder their development cycle. They're going through their
tasks, cranking out services and meeting deadlines in a timely fashion,
and in many cases governance can hinder them from doing that. What we
find is that there's a distinction between design time governance and
runtime governance. If you put too much governance in place too early,
you get a rebellion from the developers, and you end up having things
like rogue services out there. View Full Story

Application Development Trends: Study: SOA Efforts Lacking Quality Control |
|

A new survey suggests many companies are conducting service-oriented
architecture projects to reinvent their corporate networks, and most IT
executives favor SOA because of the concept’s emphasis on reusing
existing assets. But the study by the Waltham, Mass.-based consulting
firm Hurwitz & Associates also suggests SOA efforts aren’t always
accompanied by quality testing, leading to dissatisfaction with the
results. The study, underwritten by Mindreef--a New Hampshire-based
software company formed in 2001 that focuses on Web services and SOA
quality testing--surveyed 99 IT executives from North American and
United Kingdom companies with more than 250 employees. More than half
of the companies had revenues greater than $1 billion… View Full Story

Winner: Best Solution From a New Company
When Mindreef came onto the scene in 2002 with a tool for testing SOAP,
few had even heard of the term. Now testing tool visionaries Frank
Grossman and Jim Moskun, whose top-selling SoftICE and BoundsChecker
were ultimately acquired by Compuware, are again topping the charts.
While hardly new at version 5.0, SOAPscope is a groundbreaking tool
that strips away the complexities of the SOAP messages to help
developers and testers quickly identify the root-cause of Web services
problems. There’s also a team edition. View Full Story

|
|
|
|
To maximize the intended benefits of service-oriented architecture

Grid Today: Survey Says Web Services 'Reuse' Number One Driver for SOA |

...Lack of governance and lack of standards also contributed to
dissatisfaction with SOA implementations. Respondents who had
implemented a SOA and had a quality plan in place were more likely to
be completely satisfied with the quality of their SOA. The independent
research was sponsored by Mindreef Inc., a provider of SOAPscope and
SOAPscope Server solutions for Web services testing and SOA quality.
Teams at Wachovia, Fidelity National Financial, Charles Schwab, IBM,
Valero Energy, and more than 3,000 customers at over 1,200
