SOA Testing via Random Paths in BPEL Models

Service oriented architectures (SOAs) allow for interesting and flexible software designs for complex problems. Such complex designs, however, require us to pay special attention to ensuring their quality. Extending earlier work on a testing and diagnosis concept for SOAs, we report in this paper on our first experience regarding an experimental setup with a test case generation algorithm based on random path selection, in contrast to our earlier work being based on considering all paths in a SOA's BPEL process description.
