Abstract

This work describes the working of white-box testing for the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) based Application. Now, a days it is very essential to perform code coverage testing to understand the quality of software. This paper deals with the measurement of branch coverage percentage for the BPEL architecture that orchestrates all the services, which are distributed geographically. Here, we are testing the code coverage of BPEL architecture, which actually shows the invocations of services when it is required. This work integrates the existing open source tools, to automate the computation of branch coverage for SOA based application. This paper shows a novel technique for generation of test cases and computing branch coverage through our proposed tool.
