Crosscheck Networks Announces SOA Testing Tutorial at Software Quality Engineering's STAREast 2008 Conference
SOA Testing Tutorial at SQE STAREast 2008 underscores Crosscheck Networks leadership in helping QA Professionals get trained in SOA Testing
BOSTON, Feb. 25 -- Crosscheck Networks, Inc., the leading provider of Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) testing products today announced that it has been selected to conduct its ever popular full-day training program, The Art and Science of SOA Testing, at STAREast 2008 on May 5th, 2008.
Based on emerging web services standards, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) has ushered in a new era of how applications are designed, developed, tested, and deployed. The promise of SOA to increase development productivity and application flexibility poses new challenges for testers: multiple web services standards and implementations, legacy applications (of questionable quality) now exposed as Web services, weak or non-existent security controls, and services of possibly diverse origins chained together to create applications. At STAREast 2008, Crosscheck Networks SOA testing instructors will lead attendees through an intensive tutorial that includes hands-on lab work. Beginning with the Four Pillars of SOA testing, attendees will learn new concepts to master SOA testing challenges through techniques such as WSDL chaining, schema mutation, and automated filtration. They will also learn how traditional techniques such as black, gray, and white-box testing are applied to SOA testing to maximize test coverage, minimize effort, and release better products.
"We see an increasing number of sophisticated SOA systems deployed in large enterprises," said Mamoon Yunus, Chief Technology Officer of Forum Systems and advisor to Crosscheck Networks. "We are excited to see thought leaders like Software Quality Engineers provide rigorous training for QA Professionals for testing increasingly complex SOA deployments. We believe such training courses will become necessary for enterprises that are serious about SOA."
"With the widespread implementation of SOA applications, it is imperative that QA professionals select appropriate testing tools, adapt their testing techniques, and develop web services domain expertise to make their SOA deployments deliver business value reliably and securely," said Lee Copeland, Conference Chair of the STAREast conference. "Crosscheck Networks SOA testing tutorials have been well received at past conferences and we look forward to them introducing new techniques and sharing their expertise in their latest tutorial."
