I held this presentation during the Eurostar 2009 conference in Stockholm. It gives a good impression in how a simulation of a SIT helps you in determining defects during the design stage of your SOA landscape.

1. Bring requirements to life with a paper SIT - Simulated System Integration Test - 3 december 2009 | Henri Haarmans / Arjan Steltenpool

5. The BDM contains all our business processes and each domain is a component with a particular business knowledge 1. Relationship Management 3. Performance Management & Corporate Support 14 Provider Management 141 Provider Selection 11 Customer (Intermediary and End-Client) Management 111 Customer Insight & Segmentation 114 Prospecting & Campaign Management 112 Customer Interaction Policy 142 Sourcing & Contracting 34 Corporate Support 32 Performance Management 321 Customer & Channel Performance 322 Financial Performance 342 Knowledge Mgt Prod/Claims 343 Communic.

6. For example: a new product for Life Retail results in changes in all the 15 green domains 1. Relationship Management 3.

9. In a traditional environment the V-model is a good model for the development and verification of software Paul E. Brook 1986 A Quality Management System with quality gates ( ) and baseline audits provide extra certainty. Expectation Wish Customer Requirements System Requirements Functional and technical Design Unit Built Unit Test System Test (Functional Acceptance Test) User Acceptance Test System Integration Test Regression Test Production AcceptanceTest Test design One team is developing all the software! Unit Design

10. A Quality Management System gives no extra certainty in a SOA environment The big challenge is: How can we secure that all applications work together as one process to the customer? Expectation Wish Regression Test Production Acceptance Test System Requirements per domain User Acceptance Test per domain In a SOA environment one team develops the Customer Requirements and for each domain different teams develop the System Requirements and the software! Our solution: Test the process after developing the system and interface requirements. System Integration Test ? Customer Requirements

11. Different stakeholders, different concerns Our solution the Simulated SIT (SSIT) provides also answers to the questions from stakeholders. Test Manager Understanding of the application landscape; Reduction in time to test and fix. Business representative Do the software developers understand my requirements? Software developer Do I understand the Customer Requirements correctly? Lead Analyst Does my solution Work? Project and Business Management Certainty of due date and quality of the system.

18. Visualization of the simulation On every table… Table 6 Table 1 Table 7 Table 2 Table 5 Table 3 Business Rules Back Office Calculation Box Collection & Disbursement Front Office Output Facilitator Test Manager Information Analyst Lead Analyst ‘ Knowledge bank’

21. All participants play their own role during the SSIT Lead Analyst Walking encyclopedia Business People Monitors that the right business rules are used. Information Analyst Processor of the Service Request Forms. Facilitator Controls the process, initiates a test case, facilitates the evaluation etc. Test Manager Postman between the domains
