Online Testing Framework for Web Services
Tien-Dung Cao, Patrick Félix, Richard Castanet, Ismaïl Berrada · 2010
Testing conceptually consists of three activities: test case generation, test case execution and verdict assignment. Using online testing, test cases are generated and simultaneously executed (i.e. the complete test scenario is built during test execution). This paper presents a framework that automatically generates and executes tests "online" for conformance testing of a composite of Web services described in BPEL. The proposed framework considers unit testing and it is based on a timed modeling of BPEL specification, a distributed testing architecture and an online testing algorithm that generates, executes and assigns verdicts to every generated state in the test case.
