• SOAtest 6.0 was built from the ground up to address the complexities inherent in service or component-based architectures. Since 2002, it has been assisting organizations such as HP, IBM, Fidelity Investments, Lockheed Martin, and the IRS to ensure the quality of their business processes.

Core Capabilities

Quality Governance

Design and development policy enforcement

Ensures interoperability, security, and consistency across all SOA layers from application code statements to business processes. Industry-standard and custom policies are enforced automatically and continuously.

Defect prevention

Teaches developers to avoid common security and interoperability problems—reducing the length and cost of downstream testing and debugging.

Registry-based policy management

Automatically tests registered services and verifies compliance to the policies defined in the registry. Results are reported back to the registry—and updated in real-time—providing continuous visibility into a service’s quality and compliance throughout its lifecycle.

Environment Management

Service emulation Automatically emulates the behavior of services, then deploys them across multiple environments — streamlining collaborative development and testing activities. Services can be emulated from functional tests or actual runtime environment data.

Platform awareness Facilitates interactions with and visibility into any component of the infrastructure stack—reducing the learning curve for defining complex tests and understanding how they pass through heterogeneous systems. Provides out-of-the-box support for major industry platforms, including: AmberPoint HP IBM Microsoft Oracle/BEA Progress Sonic Software AG/webMethods TIBCO

End-to-End Testing

SOA-Aware test Construction

Advanced test automation and an SOA-Aware interface enable fast and effective test construction. Easily extensible tests can be automatically generated from artifacts such as WSDL, UDDI, WSIL, XML Schema, BPEL files, and HTTP traffic, as well as from the major industry platforms (see list above).

End-to-end scenario verification

Promotes rapid, incremental development of test suites that verify end-to-end operations, which may span across the messaging layer, ESBs, the Web interface, the database, and EJBs. This ensures the reliability of the underlying implementation.

Multi-layer business process validation

Validates that business processes continuously meet expectations across multiple layers of heterogeneous systems. Alerts are generated when modifications impact key processes—providing a safety net that reduces the risk of change and enables rapid and agile responses to business demands.

ESB event monitoring & validation

Visualizes and traces the intra-process events triggered by tests, facilitating rapid diagnosis of problems directly from the test environment. Also continuously validates whether critical events continue to satisfy functional expectations as the system evolves.

Process Visibility and Control

Streamlined collaborative workflow

Achieving SOA quality is a collaborative effort that involves many different participants across the organization—from service and Web interface developers, to QA, to business analysts. By establishing a sustainable workflow where quality tasks are automatically generated, assigned, and distributed to the appropriate team members, the solution makes the entire team more productive.
