On his way to prosperity ,he started opening new branches at many places !!!!
He replicated the same software at all the places because the organizational structure were identical
replications of his first shop
He enjoyed more success and the software made data management and data storage very easy!!!

As boundaries within and between enterprises become increasingly permeable, there is a
greater need for information flow. This is inhibited by the 'information silos' formed
by traditional software applications. Service oriented architecture (SOA) replaces
these silos with loosely-coupled services, enabling information to flow as needed,
and delivering enterprise agility
SOA helps systems remain scalable & flexible while your business is
growing/changing

• Enterprises are made up of a set of Business Processes
–Day to day, week to week, year to year stuff
• These business processes can be broken down into more
fundamental discrete building blocks known as Services

Service is the IT realization of some self-contained business functionality
It hides the technical implementation details
◦ Abstract black box with a formal contract of engagement
◦ Allows business people to understand it
Can be reused and assembled into Business Processes
Consumer & provider of the service are loosely coupled

Business-Driven vs Technically driven Interface
Service Reuse
Service Compositions (Composite Applications)
Loose Coupling (of Service Consumers & Providers)

-
Technically driven Interface CustomerOP (action, //”create”, ”read”, ”change”, “delete” id, // customer id or null name, // new customer name or null address, // new customer address or null account) // new customer bank account or null
- 13
-
Business-driven
• create Customer (name, // new customer name
• address, //customer address
• account) //customer bank account
• read Customer (id) // customer id
SOA is not about “out with the old, in with the new”
SOA is about reuse
Redundancy problem - Many similar programs
◦ Especially after acquisitions
With SOA you end with one single business service for a given function that gets
used
everywhere in your organization
Advantage - Changes only have to be made in one place

Reduction in the cost of maintaining application portfolio
◦ Change & test only one service
◦ Only need skills set in which the service was developed
Enables business to update its operations more quickly
◦ Only one place where code change needs to be made and so change
is implemented quickly
◦ Reduces Business risk
◦ Errors limited to new development, not in reuse of existing services
◦ So less rework & testing because of less defects
- 24 -
Governance is imperative for success in SOA
Establishing & Enforcing processes & policies
◦ To ensure that existing services are reused & not duplicated
◦ Who is allowed to change a service that is reused by others
◦ Ensure that services are developed in alignment with business requirements
◦ Ensure that projects follow the established governance policies

• SOA Testing is Testing an Architecture
• Services may/may not have a user interface
• Dynamic changes in the business requirements
• Data driven business logic within services
• External services to the organization
• Predicting the future usage of services to assist with performance, load, stress, scalability.

• The orchestrations are responsible for managing the overall execution of a specific business process – orchestration directs and manages the assembly of multiple component business activity services, to create a composite business process.

• These services represent discrete business activities or functions that can be reused by other business units across the enterprise.

Test Familiarization◦ Understanding the service functionality, getting familiar with the data attributes, looking the
CVT codes required for all mandatory attributes.
Test Preparation◦ Derive High level test conditions from Business functionality provided in the service contract◦ Prepare the skeleton data sheet, Browse the Mainframe database for fetching the data,
Populate the sheet with data and prepare the data ready for all the test conditions specified.
DEC◦ Submit the high level test conditions for SA review and identify the DEC
Test execution through Harness◦ Test execution is done in Test Harness, a façade interface for the business services. Expected
and actual data is compared

Input the Payload data through the test harness for the Orchestration service, and click on submit.
At the same time login to the BPC* explorer and check if a human task and a Process task has been created
The Human task should have all the Common data and the Payload data mentioned in the Task document and the Orchestration service. Check all the data is correct and make changes to the payload data if required (on BPC). Complete the task on BPC. This should be returned back to the Orchestration service, which would initiate the next task.
Open Bare Tail (Open source tool) and check the log files. This should have all the payload data, which is returned back to the Orchestration. Verify this payload data.
The Orchestration will continue to create the next task synchronously which again can be viewed on BPC.
The above process is repeated till the last task has been checked as per the Sequence in the Activity Diagram shown below.
