A typically high-level SOA using cloud computing testing process.
Black Box Cloud Testing
As we discussed, a portion of SOA using cloud computing is the testing of services
we do not host and may not control, or cloud computing–based services.
These services are as important to the core systems as the services internal to
the application. However, we can remove some of that risk by putting procedures
and tools in place to make remote service testing effective enough to determine
both the quality of the service and the service levels it will live up to.
