Quality assurance (QA) and testing are the gateways to runtime governance, and must be explicitly modeled into your SOA-based SDLC and factored into your SOA governance model as well.
QA and testing provide an SOA governance enforcement capability by ensuring that design-time policies have been adhered to, as well as ensuring that services will perform within the stated SLA and quality of service (QoS) requirements of the service contract.
