SOA Testing
Because of the inherent complexity and broad impact of an SOA implementation, a centralized approach to testing is the ideal organizational structure for overseeing alignment of your business and IT requirements.
SOA testing is complicated as it requires the testing of interfaces and services that might bring together diverse systems and platforms, in addition to performance and security related issues. Extensive testing of web services is essential to securing the enterprise from potential business risks and scalability problems.
Validata adopts a comprehensive tool-based message-driven test approach for SOA testing. This facilitates testing application to application communication across multiple layers of technology stacks.
Validata’s SOA Adapter is able to perform functional and performance testing, as well as data migration acting as a consumer of web services methods.
It is fully integrated with the test scripting and test execution management features of Validata. Using the generic Validata interface testers can construct tests combining front end and back end testing.
The SOA Adapter is capable of handling very large volumes of data in a timely fashion that makes it suitable for data migration tasks.
The performance testing features of the SOA Adapter are fully integrated with Validata’s performance model testing enabling users to construct complex performance testing scenarios.
