Gerardo Canfora, Massimiliano Di Penta · IT Professional · 2006
This paper provides users and system integrators with an overview of service-oriented architecture (SOA) testing's fundamental technical issues and solutions, focusing on Web services as a practical implementation of the SOA model. The paper discusses SOA testing across two dimensions: testing perspectives, wherein various stakeholders have different needs and raise different testing requirements; and testing level, wherein each SOA testing level poses unique challenges.
