Problems solved by technology

However, existing SOA test tools are limited to single application specific functional, performance, end to end testing with short running transactions.
As such, currently available SOA test tools also have limited SOA test coverage for unit and functional tests only.
That is, the current SOA tools have excellent performance testing, but with limited functional verification.
These same tools also have a lack of integration capability with non-compatible test tools, have synchronous transaction execution and are primarily web services oriented test solutions.
Current SOA tools also lack modeling capabilities for end-to-end process validations support, and do not support batch transaction processing

OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0058]In an illustrative example implementing aspects of the invention, the SOA based Systems Integration Test Development Framework can be used for performing real-time and automated functional verification of transactions, for a scenario that contains long running transactions. More specifically, the specific example assumes a case study of an auto mortgage payment from Bank1 to Bank2 for a user of Bank1. This is called the ‘major activity’. Auto mortgage payment means that the user has scheduled Bank1 to pay Bank2 a certain amount of money every month on a certain date. In this example, the Primary Agent detects that there is a start of the major activity. The Primary Agent then requests that appropriate validations be done to ensure the activity was successfully executed. Action Agent 1 validates that Bank1 has initiated the payment when due, and also validates Bank1's user account standing and validates that Bank1 notifies the user of automated debit. Ac...

Abstract

A service oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure is provided for business process verification and systems integrated testing. The system includes one or more primary agents each dedicated to detecting a particular business process. The system further includes one or more action agents each configured to provide a verification function for the particular business process. Additionally, the system includes a service manager configured to provide context look-up services for the one or more primary agents to determine which action agent of the one or more action agents is responsible for a particular verification function of the particular business process.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a service oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure for business process verification and systems integrated testing.BACKGROUND DESCRIPTION[0002]Companies have sought to integrate existing systems in order to implement information technology (IT) support for business processes that cover present and prospective systems requirements needed to run the business end-to-end. To accomplish such tasks, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been created which is designed to unify business processes by structuring applications as an ad hoc collection of small modules called services. People both inside and outside the company can use these applications across enterprise systems. SOA can thus support integration and consolidation activities within complex enterprise systems.[0003]More specifically, SOA is a computer architectural style for creating and using business processes, packaged as services. SOA also defines the IT infrastructure...
