Testing is an indispensable part of software development, and the testing techniques must keep always evolving to address the new behaviors of software applications. The procedural and object-oriented paradigms have been driving the software development for a long time. A new paradigm is been progressively explored: the service-oriented. This new model is composed by three entities that have the following functionalities: to publish a service (the service provider); to find, to invoke a service (the service requester); to bind, and to store available services (the service registry). This paper introduces the concepts of service-oriented architecture, and presents some innovative testing design and practices for verifying and validating service-oriented applications.
