Abstract
This article explores seven common misconceptions about service-oriented architecture (SOA):
- SOA provides the complete architecture for a system.
- All legacy systems can be easily integrated into an SOA environment.
- SOA is all about standards, and standards are all that is needed.
- SOA is all about technology.
- The use of standards guarantees interoperability in an SOA environment.
- A service registry allows service binding dynamically at runtime.
- Testing SOA-based systems is no different from testing any other type of system.
