Frank Cohen's Blog

Anil Gupta is planning to write a book on SOA test methodology. He recently asked for feedback on the subject areas and he asked for pointers to blogs and resources that discuss SOA testing.

Here I what I wrote in response to his question:

Dear Anil: I'm glad to see you are planning to write a book on SOA test methodology. One is needed very much within the test community.

By the time the book is released I envision a world where SOA, Ajax, Web Services and Web 2.0 are completely blurred. So I would recommend that your book cover methodologies for each.

The biggest problem I see for testers in SOA is the test tools are trying to the fill the gap between testers not wanting to learn how to code and there being no way to do record/playback in an SOA environment. Somehow your book need to address this issue in a way that testers will accept.

My new book FastSOA covers the PushToTest SOA testing methodology. Details here.

My own blog covers SOA testing at http://www.pushtotest.com/thecohenblog. I also read the following (these are Safari RSS URLs):

  • feed://www.testingreflections.com/node/feed
  • feed://ws-rx.blogspot.com/atom.xml
  • feed://radovanjanecek.net/blog/index.rdf

I would be happy to be a technical reviewer of your manuscript.
