We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Is 2005 The Year of SOA? "Absolutely," Says Parasoft Exec - Live on SYS-CON.TV
And SOAPtest Will Have Another Great Year Accordingly, Because Service-Oriented Architecture Is Here to Stay

By: SOA News Desk
Mar. 3, 2005 12:00 AM

Three and a half years ago, when Parasoft first launched SOAPtest, there were very few large scale production Web services in deployment, David McCaw, Manager of Web Services Solutions for Parasoft explained to SYS-CON.TV (http://www.sys-con.tv) in an interview at Web Services Edge 2005 about the remarkable success story that Parasoft has been in the Web services testing space, following on from its preeminence in the Java testing market where Jtest has flourished from its inception to Jtest 6.0 which was released in conjunction with Web Services Edge 2005 in Boston. 

"By having a product commercially available at that time," he continued, "we were able to align ourselves with some of the large early adopters and build a strategy that's supportive not just to the individual developer but to the enterprise as a whole and to build a testing platform robust enough to support an entire SOA initiative within the enterprise rather than just being a point solution. That's what gives us our competitive edge."

"SOAPtest allows users to verify all aspects of a Web service, from WSDL validation, to unit and functional testing of the client and server, to performance testing. SOAPtest addresses key Web service issues such as interoperability, security, change management, and scalability," McCaw explained.

"Because of its flexible nature," he continued, "SOAPtest is an ideal choice for development engineers and QA professionals alike."

Its unit tests, McCaw noted, can be leveraged into scenario-based tests, as well as load tests, without any additional scripting or re-inventing of the wheel.

"By utilizing SOAPtest throughout the software development lifecycle, users can prevent errors, improve quality and reliability, and accelerate the time to market for their Web service initiatives."

Now that Web services by nature are being run for mission-critical IT functions or for revenue-generating B2B exchanges, companies need to know that their Web services are going to be sufficiently robust and stand up in the production environment. SOAPtest is precisely the right product at the right time, because 2005, according to McCaw, is "absolutely" going to be the year of web services.

Mr Toad in DA HOUZZE!

SOA? I found this page using SOA!!!

LOLOLOL

Yeah, SOA is comin, but it ain't gonna be like you think.

That's all I have to say about that.
Unless Poseyedon wants to gimme a chat
Das' right Pos-eye-don! WE talking NDA.

Mr. Toad IZZZZ out!

Because of my role at Parasoft, I've been fortunate enough to keep close tabs on the web services market by interfacing with many of the early adopters on a regular basis. What I've seen is a spike over the last 6-9 months of many large organizations that were originally hesitant to expose web services now fully adopting the technology and moving towards SOAs within their IT organizations. Many of the key concerns that were originally a gating factor have been alleviated through the solidification of various standards, as well as support from the vendor community.

SOA just seems like web services marketing spin to me... 2004 wasn't the year for Web Services - what makes anyone think 2005 will be any different?

I like the bit in this interview where the interviewer asks how much credit should go to snagging those great brand names (Jtest, SOAPtest) and he - very rightly - gives the kudos 100% to his company's marketing folks, doesn't try to steal it for himself. Parasoft is certainly first out of the gate in many areas...
