The vast number of test cases required by the scenario permutations created by service-oriented architecture (SOA) and integration projects have made test automation for them not just an option, but a necessity. But tools to automate testing alone are not enough. A proactive approach to testing is required: strategic approaches that will mitigate the risks of system change and prove quality in a structured and controlled fashion.

Read this white paper to learn how to combine the right tools and strategies to achieve:

• Defect phase containment
• Early and continuous testing
• And an optimized return on testing effort.
