Abstract
The Web services technology receives significant momentum in recent years, because it allows people to easily utilize and integrate existing software applications to rapidly create new business services. However, how to ensure the trustworthiness of a Web services-oriented system remains a big challenge. One critical issue is how to test a Web service in an effective and efficient manner. In this paper, we report our design and development of a novel mobile agent-based testing platform oriented to Web services. We seamlessly integrate an existing testing tool (HP LoadRunner) with a mobile agent technology (IBM Aglet) to build a practical environment for testing Web services.
