VII. CONCLUSION

Service-oriented architecture application faces a number of challenges. The nature of SOA application is centered on software components. Web Services technology facilitates the realization of SOA application. The investigation of existing agile software methodology for component-based development is analyzed for identifying the gaps for Web Services development. The comparison study between Web Services development and the agile methodology are conducted to identify the additional steps required for Web Services development. In addition, the study of Web Services characteristics and the best practices are analyzed. The practical approach is proposed to extend the existing agile methodology with the inclusion of Web Services best practices to every phases of agile software lifecycle. Without reinventing a new software methodology, a systematic and practical methodology for SOA application development is developed. Our research team has done a detailed case study on applying the methodology mentioned to IBM-Rational RUP and extreme programming (XP). These two case study reports [20], [22] are available at OASIS FWSI IMSC. The reports show the web services specific activities and tasks for RUP and XP software development phases respectively. The research team is currently conducting survey with the selected Singapore companies ranging from end users to IT solution providers, to validate against the WSIM based on the analysis made WSIM.
