SOA Best Practice Report
SOA Testing - Managing Testing in an SOA Environment
SOA represents a paradigm shift in the way solutions are architected and delivered. The service is a run time artifact and may be surfaced as a component, either as the run time invocable capability, and or as the design time component. Either way SOA is inherently about separation and this creates potential opportunities in the area of testing. In this report we consider what impacts SOA can have on testing, and what impact testing may have on SOA.

SOA Governance: Challenge or Opportunity?
SOA Governance has taken on a renewed importance as organizations seek to scale up their early SOA experiences. Scarcely a week seems to go by without SOA governance popping up in a story on the newswires. Too often however the advice given is too vague with a lack of specific measures that can be taken by organizations that need to achieve much better accountability in challenging economic times, or is focused on the narrow view of governance that is supported by a vendor's products. Our experiences in the field show that despite the challenges there is now an opportunity to get to grips with overall IT governance, of which SOA is one, albeit key, part. This article distills the main lessons learnt in the form of a SOA governance framework with practical guidelines for progression in real world contexts.
