Abstract
The Web Services technology has received a significant amount of attention in recent years because it allows people to easily utilize and integrate existing software applications to create new business services. With the increase of interest and popularity of Web Services, web applications are developed. This new way of software development brings out new issues for Web Service testing to ensure the quality of service that are published, bound, invoked and integrated at runtime. Testing services and service-centric systems poses new challenges to traditional testing approaches. Several Web Services testing approaches were developed to address these new challenges. This paper presents a survey and a classification of the main existing Web Services testing approaches.
