[quote]What is a SOA test product? On one level, Service-Oriented Architecture means no more than to ‘do the right thing.’ That is: To correctly create, size and describe your software components, make sure they don’t bump into one another, and make sure the messages they deal with are in turn created and sized correctly, and that they end up where they are supposed to be going in adequate time.

Software vendor Parasoft is fielding a SOA tester known as Parasoft SOAtest 5.5, and on the main, it is SOA-ready because it holds a certain awareness of XML-related componentry. Parasoft SOAtest 5.5 runs on Windows, Linux and Solaris.

The most recent release is said to offer test capabilities for multi-protocol environments, which, by some theories, would be the definition of ‘SOA.’ The most recent release lets .NET developers exercise messages in protocols that include the .NET proprietary standards. That means specialized support for Microsoft’s Windows Communication Foundation. [/quote]
