Abstract :
A challenging part of software testing entails the generation of test cases, which cost can be reduced by means of the use of techniques for automating this task. In this paper we present an approach based on the metaheuristic technique scatter search for the automatic test case generation of the BPEL business process. A transition coverage criterion is used as adequacy criterion.
