SOA test: Learn how to capture
and execute test cases for SOA Services.
Note: When you start your online trial, you will
have four hours to explore the products and exercises
within the Sandbox. If you exit one trial and begin
another, you have whatever time remains of your original
four hours to complete the successive trial. To continue
working beyond the end of a four-hour session, you must
register for a new session to begin the trial anew.
The Governance of Reuse exercise provides an introduction
to core best practices for implementing this required
oversight using IBM®WebSphere® Integration
Developer and IBM Rational® Asset Manager. This
online trial will help you to define roles and ensure each
performs the assigned responsibilities as confirmed via
the governing business process. As the Service
Implementer, you will validate and complete the creation of a business service. Then, as the Service Architect, you evaluate this asset to ensure it will meet the needs of your Asset Consumers. You complete the trial as a consumer by searching the asset repository to locate and activate your new service.
SOA Test online trial provides an overview of how IBM Rational Tester for SOA Quality makes it simple to capture and execute test cases for SOA Services. You will record a simple test against a web service, modify the test to include a loop, then execute the automated test case to view the results.
The online trial experience allows you to try software products without having to install them on your
own system. This is product-level code, with all features and options enabled.
Client software
The online trial program uses the Citrix XenApp Presentation Server (formerly known as the MetaFrame Presentation Server) to provide you a connection from your workstation to the remote server running the IBM product you are evaluating. You will need to download the latest XenApp Web plugin appropriate for your operating system.
If you are installing Citrix for the first time, you will see a popup window that asks for the address of the server hosting your published application. Leave the Server Address field blank and click Next.
If you do not have the Citrix Web plugin installed when you attempt to access the online trial, you will be prompted to install it.
Supported browsers
Microsoft Internet Explorer V6 or later and Mozilla Firefox V1.5 or later are
supported.
Connection speed
We recommend that you use a high-speed connection while evaluating software online. Because the session you will be using is running remotely over the Internet with unpredictable delays and latencies, you should not use your experience with the session as a guide to the performance of the tools when installed in a local environment.
