Testing for Service-Oriented
...
Architecture
...
(SOA)
...
combines
...
the
...
typical
...
challenges
...
of
...
software
...
testing
...
and
...
certification
...
with
...
the
...
additional
...
needs
...
of
...
accommodating
...
the
...
distributed
...
nature
...
of
...
the
...
resources,
...
the
...
greater
...
access
...
of
...
a
...
less
...
bounded
...
consumer
...
population,
...
and
...
the
...
desired
...
flexibility
...
to
...
create
...
new
...
solutions
...
from
...
existing
...
components
...
over
...
which
...
the
...
solution
...
developer
...
has
...
little
...
if
...
any
...
control.
...
The
...
purpose
...
of
...
testing
...
is
...
to
...
demonstrate
...
a
...
required
...
level
...
of
...
reliability,
...
correctness,
...
and
...
effectiveness
...
that

enable
...
prospective

consumers

to

have

adequate

confidence

in

using

a

service.

...
- is
...
- to
...
- demonstrate
...
- a

- required
...

...
- Adequacy
...
- is
...
- defined
...
- by
...
- the

- consumer
...
- based
...
- on
...
- the

- consumer's

- context

- use.
...
- Absolute
...
- correctness
...
- and
...
- completeness
...
- cannot
...
- be
...
- proven
...
- by
...
- testing;
...
- however,
...
- for
...
- SOA,
...
- it
...
- is
...
- critical
...
- for
...
- the

- prospective

- consumer
...
- to

- know
...
- what
...
- testing
...
- has
...
- been

- performed,
...
- how
...
- it
...
- has

- been

- what

- the

- Conformance

...
- leverages
...
- the
...
- artifact
...
- and
...
- service
...
- metadata
...
- to
...
- validate
...
- that
...
- an

...
- adequately
...
- addresses
...
- the
...
- requirements
...
- stated
...
- in
...
- the

- specification.
...
- An
...
- example
...
- of
...
- service
...
- requirement
...
- is
...
- the
...
- ability
...
- to
...
- specify
...
- a
...
- response
...
- time
...
- in
...
- the
...
- specification
...
- (design

- time)
...
- and
...
- validate
...
- that
...
- this
...
- response
...
- time
...
- is
...
- valid
...
- for
...
- an
...
- implementation
...
- of
...
- the

- Additional

- not
