SOA Testing Methods
Below are the different SOA Testing Methods:
- Data Driven Testing: Data Driven Testing, here data pools, CSV files, Excel files, ADO objects, ODBC sources, and other types of files are typically involved in this sort of data file. The test scripts are written by the testing functions, which also read the test data and output values from the data store.
- Stubbing: Stubbing refers to the procedure of using stubs. These stubs are like placeholder interfaces, to test the dependability of an application’s independent services. User interaction to a certain level is possible using them. For example, While filing any form online, we often get messages like “Required”, “Weak Password” etc. Such interactions are done using placeholders.
- Regression testing: Regression testing is essential when a software product is revised periodically, and newer versions are released from time to time. Thus, to ensure to provide the same stability, efficiency, and performance of the application, regression testing is required.
- Service level testing: Service Level Testing refers to the evaluation of individual services and all the parameters of a service in terms of their performance, accuracy, time/space complexity, and efficiency.
- Functional testing: Functional testing verifies that the application properly satisfies the requirements or specifications. This kind of testing is especially interesting in the outcome of processing. It concentrates on simulating actual system utilization and makes no assumptions about system structure.
- Security testing: Security Testing as the name suggests deals with all kinds of risks associated with the software or service in reference. In order to prevent the loss of information or the organization’s reputation, security testing of any system is essential.
- Performance testing: Performance Testing is used for determining the ultimate efficiency of the product associated. It is done using checking parameters like time complexity and space complexity. Finally, it results in understanding the scalability, stability, and reliability of the software.
- Integration testing: Integration Testing focuses on detecting if the interface is accurate or not. It is not an independent testing procedure as it involves, unit testing of all modules first followed by testing them once they are integrated all together.
- End to End testing: End to End testing as the name self explains covers all the aspects of the software right from the beginning till the very end. It is also not an independent process, it includes multiple unit testing procedures involved followed by integration testing, and then some of the attributes like the database are changed in order to reconfirm the reliability of the software.
Software Testing – SOA Testing
SOA Testing is the process of evaluating a certain software where one can check web processes for functionality and make sure different components can communicate effectively throughout. Before diving deep into the testing model directly we need to understand SOA Architecture.
