Description
Summary:Service‐Oriented Architecture (SOA) is having a major impact on the development of software systems because of its potential for increased business agility, adaptability of applications, interoperability between systems, and reuse of legacy assets. However, organizations often make decisions on SOA adoption without carefully analyzing the implications of their decisions. This article outlines a set of common misconceptions about SOA and suggests ways in which software development lifecycle activities can be adapted to account for the characteristics of SOA‐based systems.
