“…Our work is a kind of general test case prioritization [19], which reorders a test suite for a service P to be useful in subsequent revised versions of P. To adopt it for versionspecific test case prioritization, one has to find out the differences between a preceding version and the modified version of the same service. Ruth and Tu [37], Chen et al [14], Li et al [26], Liu et al [27], and Tarhini et al [40] contributed to this topic in services computing. They conducted impact analyses of web services to identify revised fragments of code in a service by comparing the flow graphs between versions of the same service.…”

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.

“…Further, service composition issues are unique and error localization can be problematic in such cases. (Tarhini et al 2006(Tarhini et al , 2008) papers discussed a theoretical approach for selection of test cases for web services and applications regression testing. The system is modeled as a timed label transition system or state machine and tried to select unique test cases that can best represent the regression database.…”

-Software testing in web services environment faces different challenges in comparison with testing in traditional software environments. Regression testing activities are triggered based on software changes or evolutions. In web services, evolution is not a choice for service clients. They have always to use the current updated version of the software. In addition test execution or invocation is expensive in web services and hence providing algorithms to optimize test case generation and execution is vital. In this environment, we proposed several approach for test cases' selection in web services' regression testing. Testing in this new environment should evolve to be included part of the service contract. Service providers should provide data or usage sessions that can help service clients reduce testing expenses through optimizing the selected and executed test cases.

“…Authors in [18] suggested a regression testing approach based on internal information in order to form Time Labeled Transition Systems (TLTS) and Task Precedence Graphs (TPG) for each selected service. The idea was initially proposed in [53] and then extended in [18]. Sensitive information was left unprotected which implies that the technique suffers from security issue.…”

Web-based applications and their underlying parts are growing rapidly to offer services over the internet around the world. Web applications play critical roles in various areas such as community development, business, academic, sciences etc. Therefore their correctness and reliability become important factors with each succeeding release. Regression testing is an important means to ensure such factors for every new released version. Regression testing is a verification process to discover the impact of changes in other interconnected modules. With the goal of selecting an appropriate regression testing approach to respond adequately to any changes in Web applications, we conduct a complete systematic study of regression testing techniques in Web applications. Out of 64, we identified a total of 22 papers reporting experiments and case studies. We present a qualitative analysis for used tools, an overview of test case section techniques and empirical study evaluation for every selected work. No approaches were found clearly superior to other since results depend on many varying factors and the deployment environments. We identified the need of evidences where approaches are evaluated cost effective rather than technical description.
