GH Tester and CentraSite - Build SOA Quality into your Governance Processes
There’s a management expression that says "You can’t expect what you don’t inspect." You expect SOA to deliver superior agility. You expect common services to grow and be reused. You expect to close the gap between business and IT, requirements and results.
CentraSite is the critical infrastructure to manage these expectations. And Green Hat provides the automated testing framework for the necessary inspection across the SOA lifecycle. GH Tester is seamlessly integrated with CentraSite through Green Hat’s Governance Pack.
CentraSite users are now asking how they should access their quality system as part of their governance processes. It starts with Quality Policies. Policies define the criteria and metrics for certification – the stamp of "Ready for Reuse". Each organization will define their own policies in terms of the quality assurance actions and metrics that must be satisfied at each stage of the service development and deployment process. But we know that Quality Best Practices prescribe certain test actions that should be part of everyone’s policies. Green Hat streamlines Quality Policy management by providing pre-defined Attributes and pre-built Actions to set up the policies. We distinguish Certification Test Suites from functional testing suites so compliance testing is a conscious act rather than a happy accident.
Green Hat offers a variety of policies so the governance process can determine relevancy of quality information to current requirements. And we publish pre-built simulation assets associated with the services being inspected. A key principle of the Green Hat solution is the separate yet unified testing functions along the SOA lifecycle. GH Tester alone gives the service producer the assurance of a match to business requirements, WS-I compliance, coverage levels and specific criteria outlined in a test plan. You can perform all functional, regression, integration and simulation testing with GH Tester. GH Performance adds performance testing capabilities to the mix.
