Importance of Quality in SOA

Higher level of integrations and diverse technologies

Traditional Software Testing

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

SOA Testing

SOA Testing

• Component based testing

• Bottom-up test execution

• Early involvement in testing

• Collaborative testing

• Interop testing

• System testing (End-to-End)

SOA Testing

• Test Automation Unit

Integration

End-to-End

• Continuous Integration

• Performance Testing

SOA Testing – Planning and Design

• Study business requirements

• Identify components

• Identify service consumers

• Identify message exchanging patterns (MEPs)

• Identify testing techniques

• Set scope

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

SOA Testing in Practice

SOA Testing in Practice

Component Level Testing – Web Services

• Understand WSDL

• Mock Services based testing

• Service level performance testing

Web Services Testing with Quality Of Services (QoS)

• Service access is restricted using various policies (security, throttling)

• WS-Security

• WS-RM

Testing associated with Broker (ESB)

• Message routing

• Transformations

• Split/aggregate messages

Open Source Tools for SOA Testing – SOAPUI

• Easy-to-use

• Can be used for both functional and performance testing

• WS-* Support

• Service mocking

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
