iTKO, Inc., has announced the availability of the new version of its LISA 4 SOA Testing. LISA expands upon iTKO’s delivery of the Three C’s of testing – complete, collaborative and continuous – by adding key functionalities that mitigate the business risk of ever-increasing change and complexity in enterprise IT.

Companies are rapidly adopting SOA approaches in order to benefit from increased business agility and IT cost benefits. Services-based functionality has become easier to deploy and reuse across business applications. However, concerns about quality have increased due to the risks of increased change and complexity in the interconnected technology layers that make up SOA applications. LISA 4 addresses these concerns by offering an automated risk mitigation testing environment for SOA applications. LISA 4 allows the entire team to create, manage, and orchestrate tests continuously, throughout design, development and deployment, in order to prevent costly application failures and errors.

The new iTKO LISA 4 SOA Testing suite includes the following new features:

• Virtual Service Environment
• RIA Testing
• Dynamic Load Testing
• Business Process Assurance
• Enhanced SOA Platform Support

The advances included in LISA 4 provide the enterprise with a verifiable, enforceable way to validate that SOA Policies and service levels are being reliably met, as a key part of SOA Governance.
