Review on Web Service Testing Technologies
Liu Jian-xun · Microcomputer applications · 2010
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become the major trend for developing Web-based distributed systems recently. As a form of SOA,Web services have applied more and more widely. However,the quality of Web service presents a barrier to widening the application of Web services. Therefore,it is necessary to test Web service in order to ensure the quality of Web service. Due to the unique characteristics of Web services,traditional software testing techniques are no longer suitable for Web service testing,so it is necessary to study Web service testing methods and technologies. This paper talks about the difficulty of testing Web service based on SOA and the basic Web service testing methods. It also analyzes the related research articles on testing Web services. At last,it concludes the shortages of the current research methods and technologies and point out some future research directions on testing Web services.
