摘要：With interconnectivity between IT Service Providers and their customers and partners growing, fueled byproliferation of IT Services Outsourcing, with some providers gaining leading positions in marketplacetoday, challenges are faced by teams who are tasked to deliver integration projects with much desiredefficiencies both in cost and schedule. Such integrations are growing both in volume and complexity.Integrations between different autonomous systems such as workflow systems of the providers and theircustomers are an important element of this emerging paradigm. In this paper we present an efficient modelto implement such interfaces between autonomous workflow systems with close attention given to majorphases of these projects, from requirement gathering/analysis, to configuration/coding, tovalidation/verification, several levels of testing and finally deployment. By deploying a comprehensivestrategy and implementing it in a real corporate environment, a 10%-20% reduction in cost and scheduleyear over year was achieved for past several years primarily by improving testing techniques and detectingbugs earlier in the development life-cycle. Some practical considerations are outlined in addition todetailing the strategy for testing the autonomous system integrations domain.
