Free Report: SOA and Web Services Testing PDF Print E-mail

We’ve always been passionate about the importance of SOA quality, governance and testing as a means to improve trust and reuse. So it made sense for Mindreef to help sponsor a new report by the Aberdeen Group titled, “SOA and Web Services Testing: How Different Can It Be?"

The findings show that companies that incorporate quality throughout the lifecycle and take a “horizontal, process-oriented view, not the vertical unit-test methods used in the past,” are realizing a number of benefits and efficiencies:

  • 94% reported an increase in the quality of deployed services 
  • 61% experienced a reduction in the number of defects discovered in production 
  • 57% noted a decrease in the time required to repair defects 
  • 70% showed an improvement in maintainability of deployed services

What’s the key to their success?  The best-in-class companies that were surveyed have changed their QA processes to encompass composite applications, and focus on the quality of end-to-end business transactions instead of just testing individual services. These companies also measure quality throughout the entire project lifecycle and use design-time governance to promote reuse.

You can build a complex house of cards, but when you're finished, it's still a house of cards. The same is true of service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications built without comprehensive quality assurance, says Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst, ZapThink LLC. If one of the primary goals of using the SOA approach is agility, it will fall apart if quality isn't built in to the entire application, he argues in a ZapThink white paper published this month titled, SOA Quality across the Service Lifecycle.

"This core agility benefit of SOA collapses like a house of cards," he writes, "if the services or the applications that consume and compose them are of poor quality or behave in an unpredictable manner." ... As is true of SOA itself, tools alone are not enough to assure quality, which requires following best practices as well as testing Web services and checking that service level agreements (SLAs) are being adhered to....
