Satyam Partners With ITKO To Deliver SOA Testing Practice

Satyam Computer Services Ltd on April 12, 2007, has announced that it has partnered with iTKO, a US-based testing software Company, to establish a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) testing practice within QEdge, Satyams product and application testing practice. QEdge SOA experts will use iTKOs LISA testing technology to deliver SOA test planning and test execution services, Specifically, they will apply LISA during enterprise SOA migration projects that require maximum functional integrity and high service levels.By partnering with iTKO, the Company establishes itself as an SOA testing leader, while iTKO gains access to the Companys global reach and support, which will help solve the large-scale, complex quality challenges and risks of SOA migration.Creation of an SOA Testing Practice reflects the Companys recognition of the fact that about 80 percent of the worlds 500 largest Companies are either undergoing SOA initiatives, or planning them. Additionally, traditional manual testing and test coding methodologies and tools are not able to test SOA architectures, highlighting the need for such a practice. And while many organizations can develop service-based applications, they are now beginning to understand the importance of ensuring quality throughout the lifecycle of an SOA engagement, from development through deployment.
