Solutions for SOA quality management include new IBM Rational quality management testing products for SOA quality, enhanced IBM Tivoli products and new services offerings to help you develop and ensure high-quality SOA implementations.

SOA modularity and adoption brings quality to the forefront at all phases of the lifecycle, not just a validation at the end. Gain confidence in your SOA implementations with the broad portfolio of IBM SOA quality management solutions to manage and test your business operations.

  • A complete approach, infrastructure and process for SOA quality management
  • New and enhanced SOA quality management products
    • IBM Rational Tester for SOA Quality
    • IBM Rational Performance Tester Extension for SOA Quality
    • IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager enhancements

The new IBM SOA quality management portfolio is built upon — and includes — IBM Rational quality management software delivery process guidance, best practices and integrated team tools.

IBM Rational quality management:

  • Enables quality management throughout the lifecycle
    • Continuous, comprehensive, and collaborative quality management throughout the lifecycle reduces costs and improves credibility
  • Ensures business flexibility
    • Functional and performance testing of business services to help ensure compliance and improve customer satisfaction
  • Enhances organizational efficiencies
    • Automating workflows across business processes by streamlining and eliminating redundancies to improve return on investment

The benefit of this continuous and integrated lifecycle approach to quality is that each business process is able to leverage the artifacts of other processes for targeted and streamlined workflows, measurable and auditable requirement trails, and process validation. The result is higher cost efficiency, time-to-value and improved quality metrics for business-critical projects.
