SOA Testing Tools

Introduction to SOA Testing tools

SOA can be defined as a Server Oriented Architecture, where the application development based on the server architecture of the web application. In order to test the applications built based on the SOA architecture, one can use two different kinds of approaches, such as the top-down approach and the bottom-up approach. A few of the testing methods used for SOA testing are functional testing, regression testing, data-driven testing, service level testing, performance testing, security testing, etc. For implementing these testing methods, there are multiple testing tools available in the market these days. A few such tools are SOAP UI, SOArite, QUASAR, Worksoft for SOA, Parafost SOAtest, Matador QA system, SOA Cleaner, Advent Net QEngine, Testmaker, WebInject, Storm, Apache JMeter, SoapSonar, etc.

Strategy for SOA Testing tools

To perform SOA Testing, various approaches are designed to achieve maximum stability in the system. Some of them are discussed below:

  1. Top-down approach: It is used for test designing.
  2. Bottom-up approach: It is used for test execution.

Various Testing Methods

1) Testing based on business scenario driven data – A various business aspect related to the system should be analyzed properly.

2) Stubs – To create test services, dummy interface will be created.

3) Regression Testing – To ensure stability and availability of the system, regression testing should be done at multiple releases.

4) Service Level Testing – To do the testing of components for functionalities, security, performance, and interoperability of test cases.

5) Functional Testing – To ensure service delivery at the right response to each request.

6) Security Testing – Security testing ensures the safety of the application.

7) Performance Testing – The testing of heavy load needs to be done to check performance and functionality.

8) Integration Level Testing – To check the proper working of services individually.

9) End to End Testing – This testing ensures the business requirements of business functionally or non- functionally.

Top SOA Testing Tools

The different tools used in SOA testing are explained below:

1. SOArite

SOArite tool is mainly for testers, and the tool is provided by Runzyme. To create the workflow, the mechanism of simple drag and drop can be used. The main advantage of using this tool is, workflows can be set up and test by users quickly. These workflows can be created for testing web services, Database, JMS, Rest Services, HTTP services, and TCP.

2.  SOAP UI

SOAP UI is the most used tool, and this tool basically supports JMS, HTTP, SOAP. API or service testing can be easily done with SOAP UI. SOAP UI is an open-source.

3. Parasoft SOAtest

Parasoft SOA tester is the most commonly used tool for SOA testing. Basically, this tool is used to ease the automation and maintenance of test cases. This tool ensures 100% coverage routing of test cases. There are many platforms from which testing can be automatically generated. These platforms are WSDL, WADL, UDDI, WSIL and many more.

4. Worksoft Certify for SOA

The Worksoft Certify tool is a tool that supports scriptless testing. This also works in multiple environments like .NET, JAVA, SAP, and mainframe. Because of it, the business process also tests with the help of validating both web services and end-user applications. This also allows the simulation of both requests and responses.

5. QUASAR

QUASAR is a tool that mostly helps in Unit Testing. This tool helps in multiple languages like HTTP, JMS, SOAP. Also, its major pro is that it allows users to create and monitor events of SOA easily. This tool is very easy to use.

6. AdventNet QEngine

AdventNet QEngine is a functional testing tool. The main pro is that it is most beneficial to supports SOAP Web Service testing. This tool is used to recognize bottlenecks of code easily and quickly. This engine also helps in testing the performance of the system. Load testing can also be done to check whether adding more servers will be helpful or adding high-quality servers will be better.

7. SOA Cleaner

SOA Cleaner tool is very simple to use. Also, it powerful for testing Web Service, REST and WCF. The main proof using this tool is, the dev team can also use this tool for testing their code, as well as the QA team can also use it. The free version of SOA is also available. This tool allows tests to run through the command line. Some more features are that it supports load testing and does not require any installation.

8. Matador QA system

The Matador QA system tool is based on automation. This tool is used to test web services. Learning and using this tool is very easy and handy. The reporting feature of Matador QA is excellent and can be customized. The main proof using this tool is that it can be used to test any complex integration. Other features are that it not only can find issues and bug in the system but also identifies the exact location of the error.

9. WebInject

The WebInject tool is used for testing web services and web applications. This tool is freely available. This tool is used to test components that have HTTP interfaces. The main proof using this tool is it can monitor real-time test execution, which is possible because of the feature named service-level monitoring. This feature works on collecting HTTP response time.

10. Testmaker

Testmaker is an open-source tool. It has many features that make it used widely in testing. This allows the user to install on the desktop. Also, it supports the easy migration of code from QTP. This can run tests on either cloud or grid. This tool also identifies issues along with its root cause.

11. Apache JMeter

Jmeter tool is a product of Apache which is open-source. This is used for testing of APIs. This tool is mainly used for performance testing of Java applications on different types of servers and protocols. This tool has very good GUI, that helps in building easy test cases.

12. Storm

Storm tool is used for testing web services written in .NET or Java applications. This is an open-source freely available tool.

13. SoapSonar

SoapSonar is one of the easy using SOA testing tools. This tool supports various protocols such as HTTP, FTP, EMS, etc. Also, this tool supports the testing of various message formats such as HTML, REST, SOAP, etc.

14. iTKO LISA

There are many advantages of using this tool. iTKO LISA tool is based on 100% automation. Its graphical user interface helps users creating and managing easy test cases. This tool works across all layers of SOA based applications.

Conclusion

So, this article was about some commonly used SOA testing tools. I hope it gave you a brief idea about their features and applications. All have integrated use of testing of SOA application under specific circumstances.
