“…Examples of this are [9], where authors use a technique called Orthogonal Array Testing (OAT), the pair-wise method defined in [23], a partition testing technique in [10]. Some proposals do build intermediate artefacts to help in the process, such as [34], who builds a finite automaton using BPEL [24], in [28] who uses UML+OCL.…”

In this work, we face the problem of generating good quality test suites and test cases for web services. We present a framework to test web services based on their formal description, following a black-box approach and using Property-Based Testing.Web services are a popular solution to integrate components when building a software system, or to allow communication between a system and third-party users, providing a flexible, reusable mechanism to access its functionalities. Testing of web services is a key activity: we need to verify their behaviour and ensure their quality as much as possible, as efficiently as possible.By automatically deriving QuickCheck models from its WSDL description and its OCL semantic constraints, we enable generation and execution of great amounts of automatically generated test cases. Thus, we avoid the usual compromise between effort and cost, which too often leads to smaller and less exhaustive test suites than desirable.To illustrate the advantages of our framework, we present an industrial case study: a distributed system which serves media contents customers' TV screens.

“…In contrast to our work, the test focus lies on the resulting systems rather then on the designed models. The work in [19], [20] can be viewed as domain specific testing with focus on specific application domains, e. g., security testing. [21], [22] use models with constraints as a basis for test generation.…”

A central part of modern development methods is the use of tests. A well-defined test suite is usually the basis for code refactoring because changes to the system under test can be easily validated against the test suite. In model-based development tests can be derived from the model but possibilities to test the originally specified model and therefore to improve the quality of model refactorings are rare. We propose a method for defining model unit tests which allows a developer to define test suites similar to the well-known xUnit testing frameworks. This gives the developer the possibility to easily check and assess model changes against valid and invalid scenarios.

“…The semantic web [5,1,7] is an evolving development of the World Wide Web (WWW) in which the meaning (semantics) of information and services provided on the web is defined, making it possible for the web to understand and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use the web content. WSDL-S and OWL-S aim to support the use of semantic concepts in Web service discovery [2], interoperability and composition.…”

Web services are the basic building blocks for the business which is different from web applications. Testing of web services is difficult and increases the cost due to the unavailability of source code. Researchers have, web services are tested based on the syntactic structure using Web Service Description Language (WSDL) for atomic web services. This paper proposes an automated testing framework for composite web services based on semantics where the domain knowledge of the web services is described using protégé tool [4] and the behaviour of the entire business operation flow for the composite web service is described by Ontology Web Language for services (OWL-S)[1]. Prioritization of test cases is performed based on various coverage criteria for composite web services.Series of experiments were conducted to assess the effectiveness of prioritization and empirical results shown that prioritization techniques perform well in detecting faults compared to traditional techniques.
