Test-Driven Decoupling by Owen Rogers

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides a scalable architectural model for building complex systems. One of the principle challenges with SOA is determining appropriate service boundaries. Imposing SOA boundaries up-front tends to produce overly complex and wasteful designs with impedance between services. Extracting services out of a well factored domain model is ideal, but can be quite tricky work. It is easy to accidentally introduce unintended coupling between packages or modules over time. Using tests to support decoupling work and to enforce boundaries and directional dependencies can be a lifesaver.
