Summary:The article discusses service-oriented architecture (SOA), examining the need for developers to test increasing amounts of services. Frameworks which define and evaluate test-case potency are able to minimize testing effort yet maintain the effectiveness of the tests, the article indicates.

Also discussed is the active contribution of users through Web 2.0.
