Abstract

Service-oriented architecture enables creation of enterprise-wide and cross-enterprise flexible, dynamic business processes and agile applications. The performance, reliability and other quality aspects of such systems, thus, become very important for the success of businesses. Testing is a way to evaluate these quality attributes. However, the new unique architecture style of SOA-based systems calls for reorienting testing procedures, methods, techniques, and tools etc. In this paper we discuss how we can evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of SOA test process. Considering an existing generic test process evaluation framework, we attempt to highlight areas where necessary adjustments to this framework are needed to care for the specialized testing perspectives of SOA-based systems.
