Research on Robustness Test Method of Web Services Fault-based
HU Lei-ming · Microcomputer Information · 2010
Web services are considered a new paradigm forbuilding software applications,however,Web services are still not widely used because service requesters do not trust Web Services that were built by others.Testing can be used to assess the quality attributes of Web Services and hence increase the requesters' trustworthiness. This paper proposes an approach that can be used to test the robustness and other related attribute of Web Service. The framework is based on rules for test case generation that are designed by,firstly,analyzing WSDL document to know what faults could affect the robustness quality attribute of Web Services,and secondly,using the fault-based testing techniques to detect such faults. A proof of concept tool that depends on these rules has been implemented in order to assess the usefulness of the rules in detecting robustness faults in different Web Services platforms.
