Contest: SOA the Hard Way
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2516598/6276287
[Michael Meehan]
Often in the IT world you learn by doing or, to be more exact, you
learn from your mistakes. Well, how about giving others a chance to
learn from your mistakes as well?
At SearchSOA.com we've found some of our most consistently popular
content is SOA worst practices stories. Readers get deluged with best
practices stories, but what they crave are useful warning signs to
help them steer clear of avoidable mistakes, particular in an arena
as new as service-oriented architecture. Obviously nobody likes to
brag about their mistakes, but we're all adults here and we assume
that part of the tale will include the recognition of the mistake and
the fix that was applied.
In order to be eligible for the contest, a writer from SearchSOA.com
needs to be able to interview you and use your name. We're not
engaging in "gotcha" journalism, we just want to write a solid story
about a hard lesson learned without cluttering it with vagaries. The
story is only of so much use if the details are muddled. Entrants
must also be a technology end user, not a vendor or channel partner.
Things we're looking for:
Not understanding the proper way to deploy new technology or not
understanding the interrelationships between different pieces of
technology
Unexpected security or QA problems
Architectural and development pitfalls
Management and versioning issues
Data dysfunction
Governance and organizational blind spots
Good ideas gone wrong
Things we're not looking for:
Vendor critiques
Personal issues with colleagues
Complaints without some sort of lesson learned
We will review each and every submission. If we use your story you
will win a free copy of the new book SOA: Principles of Service
Design by SOA guru and SearchSOA.com site expert Thomas Erl, which
hopefully will help steer you clear of a few potential mistakes in
the future. Please send all submissions to mmeehan@techtarget.com
with "Contest: SOA the Hard Way" in the subject line.

Microsoft's SOA vision: 'The model is the application'
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2516601/6276287
Microsoft recently unveiled a futuristic vision of technology for SOA
development where "the model is the application." A preview of the
next generation of Visual Studio tools for model-driven design and
deployment of composite applications was part of the keynote at
Microsoft's SOA & BPM Conference. Read this article for an insider's
look at Microsoft's plans for Visual Studio 10, BizTalk Server 6 and
System Center, its policy and management product, which will all
share a common metadata repository as part of the .NET framework.
SOA prompts changes in quality assurance
http://go.techtarget.com/r/2516602/6276287
The times are changing for QA engineers and testers -- or at least
they should be if their organizations are developing service-oriented
applications. According to a recent Aberdeen Group report,
significant change is afoot in quality assurance, with the focus
turning to quality throughout the end-to-end business transaction.
Read this article from SearchSoftwareQuality.com for a detailed
exploration of why SOA testing is getting more complex, how to deal
with the top challenges for SOA testing, and tips on beating the SOA
testing curve.
