Oracle SOA Online Test

The Oracle SOA Test makes use of scenario-based questions to test for on-the-job skills as opposed to theoretical knowledge, ensuring that candidates who do well on this screening test have the relavant skills. The questions are designed to covered following on-the-job aspects:

• Process Editing
• Wires
• Oracle Mediator
• Binding Components
• SOA Suite
• Artifacts
• Property Inspector
• SOA Composite Application
• WSDL
• BPEL Schema

Once the test is sent to a candidate, the candidate receives a link in email to take the test. For each candidate, you will receive a detailed report with skills breakdown and benchmarks to shortlist the top candidates from your pool.

• Process Editing

  Process editing refers to the ability to modify and customize business processes in Oracle SOA Suite. This skill is measured in the test to assess a candidate's proficiency in designing and implementing workflows that meet specific business requirements.

• Wires

  Wires are used in Oracle SOA Suite to connect different components and enable data flow between them. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate a candidate's understanding of how to establish and manage connections between various modules within a SOA application.

• Oracle Mediator

  Oracle Mediator is a component in SOA Suite that allows the transformation and routing of messages between different endpoints. This skill is measured in the test to assess a candidate's knowledge of how to configure and utilize Oracle Mediator for seamless integration and message mediation.

• Binding Components

  Binding components in Oracle SOA Suite are used to interact with external systems and services. This skill is measured in the test to gauge a candidate's ability to configure and utilize binding components effectively for integrating with diverse external resources.

• SOA Suite

  SOA Suite is a comprehensive middleware platform that enables the development and integration of service-oriented architecture applications. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate a candidate's understanding of the various components and capabilities offered by SOA Suite for building scalable and flexible enterprise solutions.

• Artifacts

  In Oracle SOA Suite, artifacts refer to the files and resources that make up a SOA composite application. This skill is measured in the test to assess a candidate's familiarity with different artifact types and their roles in building and deploying SOA applications.

• Property Inspector

  The Property Inspector in Oracle SOA Suite is used for configuring properties and parameters of SOA composite components. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate a candidate's proficiency in utilizing the Property Inspector to customize and fine-tune the behavior of SOA composite applications.

• SOA Composite Application

  SOA composite application is a collection of interconnected composite components that form a complete business process. This skill is measured in the test to assess a candidate's understanding of how to design, build, and manage SOA composite applications using Oracle SOA Suite.

• WSDL

  WSDL (Web Services Description Language) is an XML-based language used to describe the interface and functionality of a web service. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate a candidate's expertise in working with WSDL files, defining web service operations, and integrating them into SOA applications.

• BPEL Schema

  BPEL Schema (Business Process Execution Language Schema) is a standard for defining executable processes in service-oriented architectures. This skill is measured in the test to assess a candidate's ability to design and implement BPEL processes that comply with the defined schema and fulfill specific business requirements.
