IT professionals are not fully aware of the risks associated with service-oriented architecture (SOA) deployment, according to the latest research.
Research conducted on behalf of software testing firm AppLabs highlighted the majority of IT professionals have not appreciated the likelihood of system failures when introducing SOA.
“The nature of SOA implementation is extremely complex and traditional approaches to testing are insufficient,” said AppLabs Europe head of client engagement Graham Smith.
“It will take time for IT professionals to adapt to the way SOA applications are developed and maintained, which is completely different from developing and maintaining bespoke applications,” he added.
