English abstract:
Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) have widely
been accepted as the standard way of building large-scale,
heterogeneous enterprise IT systems. In this paper, we explore
the current limitations of testing contemporary SOAs, which are
typically assemblies of various components, including services,
message buses, business processes, and support components.
We argue that, currently, SOA testing is too much concerned
with testing single services or business processes, while there
is little scientific literature on holistic testing of contemporary
SOAs that includes all critical components and their mutual
dependencies and interactions. In this paper, we detail the
architecture of contemporary SOA, thoroughly assess the current
state of research in respect of their testing, and introduce the
notion of SOA criticality metrics as indicators for an individual
component´s criticality for the SOA as a whole. We enumerate an
initial metric set for various component types and interactions,
as well as discuss how these metrics can be used for testing
contemporary SOA.
