ABSTRACT
The provision of Web Service-based services in many areas of the digital world such as the e-Government still involves addressing interoperability of these services. Several testing methodologies that evaluate the interoperability of the services indicate the need for a machine-readable representation of the test cases allowing the automation of the test process. Existing languages for representing test cases demonstrate specific weaknesses. This paper identifies these weaknesses and proposes a sequence of steps for the definition of test cases and a XML representation of them based on the XML Requirement and Test language (XRT).
