Web Service Testing Techniques: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

These days continual demands on loosely coupled systems have web service gives basic necessities to deliver resolution that are adaptable and sufficient to be work at runtime for maintaining the high quality of the system. One of the basic techniques to evaluate the quality of such systems is through testing. Due to the rapid popularization of web service, which is progressing and continuously increasing, testing of web service has become a basic necessity to maintain high quality of web service. The testing of the performance of Web service based applications is attracting extensive attention. In order to evaluate the performance of web services, it is essential to evaluate the QoS (Quality of Service) attributes such as interoperability, reusability, auditability, maintainability, accuracy and performance to improve the quality of service. The purpose of this study is to introduce the systematic literature review of web services testing techniques to evaluate the QoS attributes to make the testing technique better. With the intention of better testing quality in web services, this systematic literature review intends to evaluate what QoS parameters are necessary to provide better quality assurance. The focus of systematic literature is also to make sure that quality of testing can be encouraged for the present and future. Consequently, the main attention and motivation of the study is to provide an overview of recent research efforts of web service testing techniques from the research community. Each testing technique in web services has identified apparent standards, benefits, and restrictions. This systemic literature review provides a different testing resolution to industry to decide which testing technique is the most efficient and effective with the testing assignment agenda with available resources. As for the significance, it can be said that web service testing technique are still broadly open for improvements.

Test Coverage in Microservice Systems: An Automated Approach to E2E and API Test Coverage Metrics

“…This makes it challenging for conventional testing strategies, as applications are broken down into smaller interconnected microservices and deployed across various environments. Several studies have highlighted the absence of assessment methodologies for accommodating microservice-based and distributed approaches [5,6]. This shift in paradigm requires a comprehensive reassessment of testing methodologies to ensure that microservice-based and distributed systems meet the desired quality standards.…”

A Systematic Review on Microservice Testing

“…Ghani et al introduce security, performance, traceability, compatibility, complexity, effectiveness, and scalability as quality metrics for microservices and map them to a few primary studies which address these metrics. Based on Petersen's definition for mapping studies [10], the Ghani et al [9] article can be considered as a mapping study on the quality attributes only.…”
