A lot of current projects are implementing some sort of service based architecture. Testing in this architecture becomes more complex. When implementing an OSB project with Scrum you test-automation is imperative. Scrum will require more frequent testing of your system. This is only feasible (in time and money) when you automate as much as possible.   Using soapUI you are able to create visually SOAP tests on your OSB implementation and running them against the defined infrastructure (develop, test, acceptance).  SoapUI enables with easy tools to implements verification and validation of the responses of your OSB implementation. When running the test you are also able to set limits in SLA response times on all the calls. This way you are able to monitor depreciation of performance in older parts of your OSB implementation when adding new services.   You can record and edit your SOAP test easy with the soapUI interface and edit it later. When you maven-enable your project it is quite easy running your tests when you implement the “maven-soapui-plugin” (see my other posting http://technology.amis.nl/blog/3061/automated-soap-testing-with-maven).  In the meantime version 3.0 of More >

Maven based configuration management with automatic build number

5 years ago

An important questions in software deployment and testing is “What is the version of the software I am looking at”. It is frustrating for a tester or an end user not knowing if the planned upgrade is performed or not. Having a solid version numbering policy is a solution to overcome these problems.

There are several places where you want to have the version number of your software available: - visible for the end user on the login screen. - visible in the software distribution package (war / ear) for the deployment operator. - visible in configuration files. - and even visible in the deployed online manual.

The task of proper version numbering can be performed manually. This takes a solid knowledge of all places where this number is used and a good deal of perseverance when performing these repeating actions. In a project under development, using an agile development method, there will be frequent builds and releases (daily or even hourly). This asks for automated build numbering. When using maven and subversion, this task can be automated with the maven buildnumber plugin.
