Abstract

This paper presents a method for service-component testing and a suitable CORBA test architecture. This test environment allows the service validation from its components and is a close step towards the execution of the obtained tests on a CORBA environment. Two aspects are relevant: the test of components and the test architecture. The testing method for components is new: it is based on the generation of partial graphs and avoids the combinatorial explosion of number of states of the global system. The test architecture on a CORBA platform is also new, since there are few works on testing based on these environments. As an application we present a case study on a real conference call service
