October 16, 2012: Software testing has evolved considerably over the last decade from single dimensional test approaches to multi-dimensional ones.
Testing now encompasses broader aspects such as test management through push button test environment creation on the Cloud to dedicated tool evaluations for each kind of testing. There is general consensus worldwide though, on the need for flexibility and creativity in testing and the need to treat testing as more than just another phase performed towards the end of the project.
Traditional software testing that focused on code-level testing has evolved with Distributed and Web Service architectures. Security takes on more importance as there are now multiple integrated systems and multiple interfaces, internal and external. In this context, I would like to delve more into the details of testing Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and SOA based solutions, a subject close to my heart!
