www.PeakLearningLLC.comTesting Service-Oriented Architectures: A Business ProcessOriented Approach (3 Days)This course teaches the unique considerations for testing Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs).Service-Oriented Architectures are comprised of "loosely coupled software services to supportthe requirements of the business processes and software users. In an SOA environment,resources on a network are made available as independent services that can be accessedwithout knowledge of their underlying platform implementation." 1Because of the focus on support of the business or organization, the emphasis in thiscourse is placed on business-oriented black-box and gray-box testing, although other viewsof testing are also covered, such as integration and interoperability testing, security testing andperformance testing.You will start by learning the basics of SOAs and then learn how to create a testing strategy foryour own SOA implementations. Then, you will learn effective processes and techniques forimplementing detailed SOA tests.Since SOAs may be deployed in a variety of environments, this course does not assume aparticular environment or tool set. However, the testing techniques will address many of the mostcommon types of SOA implementations and will show examples of some of the more popularSOA test tools.This course is centered around a common case study which builds throughout the course.Course ObjectivesAttendees will learn: The basic issues and risks of testing Service-oriented Architectures How to create a test strategy for your own Service-oriented Architectures Processes and techniques for SOA testing in diverse environments, including businessprocess validation The nature and purpose of SOA test tools How to leverage SOA test tools in diverse environments The process for performing security, perform and integration testing in SOAs. How to build and manage a test environment that starts to simulate the operationalenvironmentWho Will Benefit Test analysts Testers Test engineers Software developers Project managers QA analystsPeak Learning LLCwww.PeakLearningLLC.com717-541-1357
