Nice to have

• Synchronous communication using SOAP, a nice one would be to display the person height and mass in words using https://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/NumberConversion.wso?WSDL
• Feature test cases to ensure the proper working from the user perspective
• Improve the caching strategy, the current one is too much optimistic
