Testing Service-Oriented Architectures

( Duration: 3 Days )

This Testing Service-Oriented Architectures training course teaches the unique considerations for testing Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). You will start by learning the basics of SOAs and then learn how to create a testing strategy for your own SOA implementations. Then, you will learn effective processes and techniques for implementing detailed SOA tests.

By attending Testing Service-Oriented Architectures workshop, delegates 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 business process 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 operational environment

  • Basic testing and IT knowledge.

The Testing Service-Oriented Architectures class is ideal for:
