Testing Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) Applications - lecture only Course

This course provides a brief introduction to the concept of testing Service Oriented Architecture(SOA) based applications. SOA testing introduces new challenges. This course starts with an overview of SOA fundamentals and then looks into what is involved in testing SOA applications. The course also looks into some of the popular SOA testing tools in the market and demonstrates features of one such tool (selected by customer) and provides hands-on exercises to re-enforce learning.

This course is designed for quality assurance, application developers, enterprise architects, J2EE developers, architects and any other technical IT staff involved in testing SOA applications.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

> Highlight foundational SOA concepts
> Gain a realistic understanding of the various challenges and unique considerations that SOA brings into play for > testing and quality assurance
> Learn how to apply unit testing, integration testing, and customer acceptance testing to a service oriented enterprise
> Explore the various types of artifacts introduced by SOA (WSDL, BPEL, SOAP, etc.) and the implications they have for testing
> Gain hands-on experience using a SOA testing tool to test both services and business processes
