SE006 - SOA for Quality Assurance
Download the course description
Overview
Defining a Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) is the current challenge of
many enterprise IT organizations. The emergent
popularity of Web services, and the ease of implementation,
has muddied the waters, as many have adopted an
incremental approach to SOA via Web services,
without first thinking through the larger architectural
issues. This course sets the context for describing
an SOA from an architectural perspective, coming
to grips with the reality of this emerging technology,
and providing a detailed understanding of the
elements that comprise SOA, as well as techniques
and practices for creating organization-wide software
integration solutions using SOA concepts.
This two-day course is designed
principally for the technical and enterprise architect.
However, designers and other project team members
who are interested in understanding SOA concepts
will greatly benefit from this course. It is also
beneficial to technical leads and software quality
assurance personnel who oversee development of
systems and require an understanding of the process
and the artifacts being produced.
Objectives
Understand the basic concepts of SOA.
Learn the different paths
to implementing SOA.
Understand the roles and processes
used to create Service Oriented Architectures.
Understand an SOA reference
architecture.

Prior architectural and high-level
design experience
