Course Length:

5 Days

Course Description:

Service-Oriented Analysis and Design is a five day in-depth course geared for software architects and designers, this course explores what services and service-oriented architectures are and what best practices and design patterns to use in designing SOA-based applications. This course presents a strong perspective on services as an essential and important part of enterprise systems as well as how to identify, design, and develop of complex services using sound analysis and design techniques and best programming practices.

Who Should Attend:

This an advanced level SOA training course, designed for architects and analysts who need to identify, design, and lead the implementation of SOA projects. We will explore and apply the terminology, the specification, the processes and technologies specific to SOA.

Benefits of Attendance:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Explain the business impact of SOA.
• Understand the history of services-oriented architecture and what design processes led up to SOA.
• Discuss the challenges to adopting SOA in the enterprise.
• Apply the concepts and principles of SOA to on-going and future projects.
• Understand the various web service standards available to support SOA.
• Explain how Enterprise Application Integration affects the reuse of existing applications.
• Relate what SOA means from architectural and development perspectives.
• Discuss business process analysis and its relation to BPEL.
• Understand the difference between OO analysis and design and SOA analysis and design.
• List the various roles involved in Service-oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD).
• Perform SOA Analysis to identify useful and manageable services.
• Perform SOA Design to craft architectures that support the required data and communication dynamics for identified services.
• Understand the importance of business process modeling.
• Understand the difference between RPC’s and REST as a means of requesting resources.
• List the advantages of web services as a distributed systems technology.
• Explain governance and how it applies to SOA and IT in general.
• Compare SOA best practices.
• Understand the responsibilities crucial to governance.
• Explain what an Enterprise Service Bus is and its relationship to SOA.
• Discuss ESB security and roles.
• Understand the relationship between the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO).
• Understand web service and their standards.
• Understand the Web Services Description Language and Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI).
