“…Additionally, this algorithm is limited to functional testing only. Sahoo and Ray [34] proposed a slicing based framework and algorithm. Their proposed algorithm is limited to select modified test cases for WSDL files only, also proposed algorithm results have not been compared to know the efficiency of the proposed framework and algorithm.…”

Regression testing (RT) is an essential but an expensive activity in software development. RT confirms that new faults/errors will not have occurred in the modified program. RT efficiency can be improved through an effective technique of selected only modified test cases that appropriate to the modifications within the given time frame. Earlier, several test case selection approaches have been introduced, but either these techniques were not sufficient according to the requirements of software tester experts or they are ineffective and cannot be used for available test suite specifications and architecture. To address these limitations, we recommend an improved and efficient test case selection (TCS) algorithm for RT. Our proposed technique decreases the execution time and redundancy of the duplicate test cases (TC) and detects only modified changes that appropriate to the modifications in test cases. To reduce execution time for TCS, evaluation results of our proposed approach are established on fault detection, redundancy and already executed test case. Results indicate that proposed technique decreases the inclusive testing time of TCS to execute modified test cases by, on average related to a method of Hybrid Whale Algorithm (HWOA), which is a progressive TCS approach in regression testing for a single product.

“…For this, XML file for WSDL is parsed to get required data for name of the operation and input/output messages. Sahoo Sobhana et al [4] implemented a model which uses change detection algorithm to find out the changes in operation tree which is built for original and changed WSDL. After that, the authors used a forward slicing algorithm which finds out only the impacted and changed parts of the service under consideration.…”

Web services represent class of applications developed through open internet standards. They help to develop dynamic applications and thus are used to deliver business components or functionalities on the web. Business functionalities as per changing market scenarios are frequently changing and so are these web services. It is therefore the need to properly ensure quality of these web services as they are essential to deliver functions which are required for organizations in their strategic business. To maintain desired level of quality, software maintainability of such applications is important. Regression Testing is required for proper maintaining any software and it becomes very costly in terms of cost and labor for constantly changing applications. Thus to reduce maintenance cost we need to reduce effort required in such testing. This paper presents an efficient regression testing strategy which is also automated to reduce the regression costs of web services. The strategy is implemented through an extensive framework supported by automation and also integrates data testing with regression. The proposed work is particularly useful for those applications which are delivered over web

“…The impact of changes of the signature, contract, or implementation of an operation was assessed by the analysis of conflicts and dependencies of the rules, which was used to select test cases for rerun. Sahoo and Ray [23] generated operation trees for both original and modified WSDL files so that change detection algorithm was used to identify the changes. And dynamic forward slicing algorithm was applied to the modified operation tree to find out the affected parts.…”

Composite services evolve for various reasons. Test case selection in the regression testing is an effective technique to ensure the correctness of modified versions meanwhile to reduce the cost of testing. However, few work has studied the test case selection problem based on the data flow testing criteria. In addition, there are three observable kinds of changes during the evolution, including Process change, Binding change and Interface change, which all bring impact to the data flow. To address these issues, a test case selection approach is proposed for regression testing of BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) composite service where all-uses criterion is satisfied and all the three change types are involved. BPEL composite service is modeled with a two-level model in which XCFG (eXtended Control Flow Graph) describes the behavior of BPEL process in the first level and WSDM (Web Service Description Model) depicts the interface information of composite service and partner services in the second level. Change impact analysis is performed to identify the affected definition-use pairs by comparing and analyzing two-level models of the baseline and evolved versions. And testing paths are generated to cover the affected definition-use pairs and select test cases based on the path condition analysis. Empirical result shows that the proposed approach is effective.INDEX TERMS Regression testing, data flow testing, composite service, test case selection.
