Sometimes, change is so easy...
"Parasoft Corporation announced today they have changed the name of Parasoft SOAPtest, their industry leading Web services testing product, to Parasoft SOA Test. The product has been extended to support the broad range of messaging and transport protocols being used to support Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)...."
Too bad all change couldn't be as easy as dropping a letter.
The fact that SOAP is the messaging transport for SOA is one of those interesting coincidences of life. (Okay, I need a life...) But, as I pontificated in a post last year, there have been efforts to rebrand SOAP as "Service-Oriented Application Protocol," rather than the convoluted and original acronym, "Simple Object Access Protocol" -- whatever that meant.
