“…Interoperability testing is also a key test objective in different applications and technology domains. Xia et al [44] address the interoperability problem in the web service domain and propose a test method to automate conformance and interoperability testing for e-business specification languages. Narita et al [28] propose a method supported by a testing framework for interoperability testing for web service domain focusing on communication in robotics domain.…”

“…For the purpose of this study, we define a heterogeneous system as a system comprised of multiple systems (system of systems) where at least one subsystem exhibits heterogeneity with respect to the other systems [13]. Heterogeneity may occur in terms of different system complexities [33], programming languages and platforms [44], types of systems [10], system supply (internal vs. third party) [19], development processes and distribution among development sites [15]. However, no frameworks are available as yet to measure these heterogeneity dimensions.…”

“…The system of systems approach taken in development of heterogeneous systems give rise to various challenges due to continuous change in configurations and multiple interactions between the functionally independent subsystems. The challenges posed to testing of heterogeneous systems are mainly related to interoperability [28,44], conformance [28] and large regression test suites [2,6]. Furthermore, the inherent complexities of heterogeneous systems also pose challenges to the specification, selection and execution of tests.…”

Heterogeneous systems comprising sets of inherent subsystems are challenging to integrate. In particular, testing for interoperability and conformance is a challenge. Furthermore, the complexities of such systems amplify traditional testing challenges. We explore (1) which techniques are frequently discussed in literature in context of heterogeneous system testing that practitioners use to test their heterogeneous systems; (2) the perception of the practitioners on the usefulness of the techniques with respect to a defined set of outcome variables. For that, we conducted an exploratory survey. A total of 27 complete survey answers have been received. Search-based testing has been used by 14 out of 27 respondents, indicating the practical relevance of the approach for testing heterogeneous systems, which itself is relatively new and has only recently been studied extensively. The most frequently used technique is exploratory manual testing, followed by combinatorial testing. With respect to the perceived performance of the testing techniques, the practitioners were undecided regarding many of the studied variables. Manual exploratory testing received very positive ratings across outcome variables.
