Abstract-Transactional services guarantee the consistency of shared data during the concurrent execution of multiple applications. They have been used in various domains ranging from classical databases through to service-oriented computing systems to NoSQL databases and cloud. Though transactional services aim to ensure data consistency, NoSQL databases prioritise efficiency/availability over data consistency. In order to address these issues various transaction models and protocols have been proposed in the literature. However, testing of transactions in NoSQL database has not been addressed. In this paper, we investigate into the testing of transactional services in NoSQL databases in order to test and analyse the data consistency by taking into account the characteristics of NoSQL databases such as efficiency, velocity, etc. Accordingly, we develop a framework for testing transactional services in NoSQL databases. The novelty and contributions are that we develop a context-aware transactional model that takes into account contextual requirements of NoSQL clients and the system level setting in relation to the data consistency. This can assist NoSQL application developers in choosing between transactional and non-transactional services based on their requirements of the level of data consistency. The framework also provides ways to analyse the impact of the big data requirements and characteristics (e.g., velocity, efficiency) on the data consistency of NoSQL databases. The evaluation and testing are carried out using a widely used NoSQL key/value database, Riak, and a real (open) and big data from the Council of London for public transportation of the London bus services.

An external web service may evolve without prior notification. In the course of the regression testing of a workflowbased web service, existing test case prioritization techniques may only verify the latest service composition using the not-yetexecuted test cases, overlooking high-priority test cases that have already been applied to the service composition before the evolution. In this paper, we propose Preemptive Regression Testing (PRT), an adaptive testing approach to addressing this challenge. Whenever a change in the coverage of any service artifact is detected, PRT recursively preempts the current session of regression test and creates a sub-session of the current test session to assure such lately identified changes in coverage by adjusting the execution priority of the test cases in the test suite. Then, the sub-session will resume the execution from the suspended position. PRT terminates only when each test case in the test suite has been executed at least once without any preemption activated in between any test case executions. The experimental result confirms that testing workflow-based web service in the face of such changes is very challenging; and one of the PRT-enriched techniques shows its potential to overcome the challenge.

Abstract-Many composite workflow services utilize non-imperative XML technologies such as WSDL, XPath, XML schema, and XML messages. Regression testing should assure the services against regression faults that appear in both the workflows and these artifacts. In this paper, we propose a refinement-oriented level-exploration strategy and a multilevel coverage model that captures progressively the coverage of different types of artifacts by the test cases. We show that by using them, the test case prioritization techniques initialized on top of existing greedy-based test case prioritization strategy form a subsumption hierarchy such that a technique can produce more test suite permutations than a technique that subsumes it. Our experimental study of a model instance shows that a technique generally achieves a higher fault detection rate than a subsumed technique, which validates that the proposed hierarchy and model have the potential to improve the cost-effectiveness of test case prioritization techniques.
