SOA SDLC

There are lots of folks out there developing applications on top of Oracle SOA Suite, and those applications are becoming more critical.  I believe we have reached the time when it is necessary to start adopting some more industrial-strength development, testing, deployment and delivery processes for SOA applications.

In this series of posts, I am going to discuss development lifecycle issues and present a method to use modern tools and techniques in a SOA development environment.

Let’s get started:

• SOA Development and Delivery
• Version Control
• What is wrong with how we are doing it now? -or- Why do we need to change?
• Roadmap
• A first look at Robot
• Writing a Robot Remote Library
• Setting up a Maven Repository Manager (Binary Repository) with Artifactory
• Doing more with the WebLogic Maven Plugin (Robot, Selenium and Sonar too)
• SOA Maven support added in 12c
• Creating SOA Applications using Maven
• Running SCA Tests from Maven
• Adding a Human Task to our SOA Maven build (talks about using MDS)
• more to come…
