4.1.9: DT&E Laboratory
Create a Services Development, Test, and Evaluation (DT&E) Laboratory Other Information:
An SOA laboratory for collaborative DT&E, i.e., a federal community SOA space, is a combined design time, build time, and
run time environment with the following characteristics: • Community brokerage to reconcile requirements and expertise across
organizations. • A collaborative, distributed, service-oriented build time development environment. • A secure, shared, service-oriented
runtime test environment where prototype capability bundles can be adaptively verified and validated against common government
requirements. • A legal and intellectual property rights (IPR) regime to support open technology development (OTD). Use this
community SOA space as the natural place to satisfy enterprise requirements. In other words, the physical SOA framework needn’t
be restricted to just providing transport capabilities. It can also address broad enterprise requirements like information
assurance, interoperability, test and evaluation, and information value chain management as well. While testing service performance
in a federated environment is challenging within the Federal government, the benefits of a common testing capability for services
are substantial.
