Challenges of Testing Web Services and Security in SOA Implementations

The World Wide Web is evolving into a medium providing a wide array of e-commerce, business-to-business, business-to-consumer, and other information-based services. In Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology, Web Services are emerging as the enabling technology that bridges decoupled systems across various platforms, programming languages, and applications.
