If only SOA were a brand. Like Virgin and Easy, SOA is the prefix to just about everything marketed to IT organisations these days, including software testing. However, the term SOA testing isn’t right. SOA entails little that is unique for testing - it certainly does not have its own test techniques, nor is there a generic SOA test process. What, then, do suppliers mean when they speak about SOA testing and SOA testing tools? It varies. Because the term is bandied about and badly cast, end-user organisations need to look closely at what they are being offered. It might be as little as support for testing web services. It might mean tackling a whole cluster of higher-level issues surrounding SOA lifecycle, management and governance. Very little of it will be relevant to your test teams alone.
