Abstract

Testing of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementations brings various challenges at infrastructure, service as well as orchestration level. In order to address these challenges the TASSA framework was developed for testing of web service orchestrations. The paper is focused on one of the TASSA framework tools, named TESSI (TESting of Service Implementations), providing test case generation, execution and management. The core functionality of the TESSI tool includes generation of SOAP request templates, definition of assertions at HTTP, SOAP and BPEL variable levels, support of data driven testing, test execution and management. Its first prototype is implemented as an open source plug-in for NetBeans IDE.
