I'd like to know how to build and test a big web service system for its complete life cycle. ex: Google Maps etc. I'd like to know how to do it properly and correctly.
I know this a very open question. A general outline would be fine or if you want to be specific that's fine too.
I'm interested when all the groups as developers and testers are working together. Let's assume that the requirements are already done.
- Interfaces would be built. Stubs would be built etc and then substituted gradually?
- How to test business logic?
- Does it make sense to build the system vertically to see the results quickly and expand on the functionality of the components gradually? OR build horizontally by building the individual components first and then integrate?
Thanks.
