The Testable Architecture methodology aims to ensure that artifacts
defined at each stage within the software development lifecycle can be
tested against other artifacts in other stages of the lifecycle. The
overall goal being to ensure that the delivered system meets the
original business requirements.
The demo uses a set of scenarios (sequence diagrams with examples messages) to represent a formal definition of business requirements, outlining the behaviour of the required system.
From the scenarios we generate a BPMN2 choreography defining the overall behaviour of the business process, as well as a set of BPMN2 process models, one per participant in the business process.
We can then test the scenarios against the generated choreography to verify that it truly meets the business requirements, before using the choreography to generate the set of template Switchyard Java services.
Although the Java service generation provides the template structure of the service operations, based on the behaviour defined in the BPMN2 process models, the developer will still be required to add some implementation details at this stage. However once that is completed, the service implementations can then be tested against the original scenarios, ensuring that they also meet the business requirements.
Once fully tested, the demo shows the services being deployed into the Switchyard ESB and invocation of the services to demonstrate they are fully functional.
