Abstract

Web services are the element based in SOA (i.e., Service Oriented Architecture) applications that are commonly used in software systems. However the validation problem on quality of web services via testing has to be improved. This paper presents two tools for conformance testing of web services. One tool for unit testing that is implemented by an on-line approach. This tool can be used to test a web service-based and/or an orchestration by simulating its partners. The other focuses on verification of a timed trace with respect to a set of constraints. Specially, we can use this tool to verify on-line or off-line a timed trace. Finally, we show our experiments on a real-life case study, Product Retriever, by combining the two tools.
