“…For example, three works generate test cases based on the web services description specified in WSDL language [29,52,53] while another study extend this WSDL description with QoS attributes [39]. In addition to this, three studies use semantic technologies such as OWL-S (Ontology Web Language for Web Services) [66] and SAWSDL (Semantic Annotation for WSDL) [67] to describe service behaviour.…”

“…This method is a generalization of the W-Method [63] and allows the generation of test cases from the specification of the services using Stream Xmachines [64]. In the remaining six studies no specific technique is mentioned although some approaches propose different artefacts that can be used to derive the test cases: the WSDL document [29,52], a BPEL or OWL-S specification [29] and UML 2.0 diagrams [34]. Furthermore, there are studies that allow using an already existing test case generation technique or even ad-hoc testing, without specifying the testing technique.…”

Context: Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) have emerged as a new paradigm to develop interoperable and highly dynamic applications. Objective: This paper aims to identify the state of the art in the research on testing in Service Oriented Architectures with dynamic binding. Method: A mapping study has been performed employing both manual and automatic search in journals, conference/workshop proceedings and electronic databases. Results: A total of 33 studies have been reviewed in order to extract relevant information regarding a previously defined set of research questions. The detection of faults and the decision making based on the information gathered from the tests have been identified as the main objectives of these studies. To achieve these goals, monitoring and test case generation are the most proposed techniques testing both functional and non-functional properties. Furthermore, different stakeholders have been identified as participants in the tests, which are performed in specific points in time during the life cycle of the services. Finally, it has been observed that a relevant group of studies have not validated their approach yet. Conclusions: Although we have only found 33 studies that address the testing of SOA where the discovery and binding of the services are performed at runtime, this number can be considered significant due to the specific nature of the reviewed topic. The results of this study have contributed to provide a body of knowledge that allows identifying current gaps in improving the quality of the dynamic binding in SOA using testing approaches.

Abstract. Today, adaptable and distributed component based systems need to be checked and validated in order to ensure their correctness and trustworthiness when dynamic changes occur. Traditional testing techniques can not be used since they are applied during the development phase. Therefore, runtime testing is emerging as a novel solution for the validation of highly dynamic systems at runtime. In this paper, we illustrate how a platform independent test system based on the TTCN-3 standard can be used to execute runtime tests. The proposed test system is called TT4RT: TTCN-3 test system for Runtime Testing. A case study in the telemedicine field is used as an illustration to show the relevance of the proposed test system.

Service-based applications have to continuously and dynamically selfadapt in order to timely react to changes in their context, as well as to efficiently accommodate for deviations from their expected functionality or quality of service. Currently, self-adaptation is triggered by monitoring events. Yet, monitoring only observes changes or deviations after they have occurred. Therefore, selfadaptation based on monitoring is reactive and thus often comes too late, e.g., when changes or deviations already have led to undesired consequences. In this paper we present the PROSA framework, which aims to enable proactive selfadaptation. To this end, PROSA exploits online testing techniques to detect changes and deviations before they can lead to undesired consequences. This paper introduces and illustrates the key online testing activities needed to trigger proactive adaptation, and it discusses how those activities can be implemented by utilizing and extending existing testing and adaptation techniques.
