SOA testing perspective model for regression testing

摘要

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) supports loose-coupling and interoperability, where services communicate with each-other through message exchanging protocol and interfaces. SOA supports vendor diversity. In order to full-fill the vendor need, service composition is considered as a key process. Regression testing is inevitable to assure the quality of SOA based applications during their evolution. This paper defines a regression testing process which helps us in regression testing of complex SOA based applications. We also propose an SOA testing perspective model. Here we divide SOA testing perspective model into three parts: Service developer perspective, Service tester perspective and Service provider perspective. The Proposed model also focuses on service validity when the service is going to register in the Universal Description and Discovery Integration (UDDI).
