| SearchSOA.com recently announced the winners of the “Product of the Year” awards for 2007.
On their annual search for the best SOA and Web services products introduced last year they awarded both LISA from iTKO and Amberpoint with the Golden Products of the Year 2007 award
LISA was awarded in the category Service performance, while Amberpoint was the leader in the category Service management and monitoring
About LISA
LISA is a no-code testing and virtualization environment that plugs into every phase of the service development lifecycle from unit, functional, regression and load testing, to virtualization of services, and continuous validation at build and runtime. It provides complete testing of business workflows across every heterogeneous technology layer of SOA applications, at both a service component and system-wide level. "These folks really understand service orientation," wrote one judge. "SOA is something they do natively. More users ought to start taking advantage of products like this because not nearly enough services are being put through a proper quality process."
About Amberpoint
AmberPoint automatically discovers SOA components, as well as the interdependencies between components. It gives IT and Operations teams a unique vantage point into the SOA network and its live relationships, and enables architects and managers to ensure that only approved components are deployed. AmberPoint automatically posts metadata on discovered services to any registry or repository to ensure that design-time governance reflects the running reality of the production system. "Amberpoint's a bit of a venerable player in SOA circles," one judge wrote. "It's been around since the early days and you'll find a lot of early SOA adopters using it. Many of the users now pursuing SOA might not be as familiar with it or with what Web services management software does, but it delivers critical endpoint capabilities that you need for staying on top of a distributed architecture."
