   Are you aware of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)? By implementing it, an organization can deliver new products and services quickly at low cost. So what is SOA? SOA is a design for linking applications and data on demand to achieve the desired results for service consumers (end users).

   SOA separates functions into distinct units, or services, which developers make accessible over a network in order that users can combine and reuse them in the production of business applications. These services communicate with each other by passing data from one service to another, or by coordinating an activity between two or more services.

   SOA consists of three components – service provider, services consumer and service registry. Each component is correlated with one of the two components. “The service provider” creates a web service and possibly publishes its interface and access information to the service registry. “The service registry” is responsible for creating a service interface and implementing access information available to the service consumers. “The service consumer” or” web service client” locates entries in the broker registry using various find operations and then binds them to the service provider in order to invoke one of its Web services.

   In order to test SOA, the testing team requires a broader set of technical skills such as its architecture and technologies. Apart from this, the test tools are also required to assist them. Well how do you test the SOA? It’s quite simple. All you have to do is divide the architecture of to-be-tested application into domains, such as services, security and governance, and test each domain separately using the tools.

   Benefits offered by SOA are:
   • It reduces integration expenses
   • It increases asset reuse
   • It increases business quality
   • It reduces business risk.
   With the help of service oriented architecture, you can deliver products and services with low costs.
