A Family of Test Criteria for Web Services Transactions

摘要

Web Services (WS) transactions are used to build efficient and reliable web applications which are distributed across the Internet and are accessed by multiple simultaneous users. Current research has developed various models and protocols in order to improve the performance and reliability of WS transactions. However, there is little research on testing WS transaction based applications. This paper presents a family of criteria for testing WS transactions. The proposed criteria are defined by taking into account three testing dimensions: level, feature and depth. Based on such dimensions we develop a generalized transaction model for testing web service transactions.
