Towards automated robustness testing of BPEL orchestrators

Published: 16 June 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Recently, a growing interest on robustness testing of services composition is emerging. In this paper, we propose a robustness testing approach of services composition by means of fault injection of the BPEL process. The proposed solution is implemented into the existing TASSA framework aimed at functional and non-functional testing of service applications. A case study is provided for assessing the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
