Test Case Generation Method for BPEL-Based Testing

This paper describes a framework for the design of a test tool that could generate test cases automatically based on given BPEL specifications. The key problems that need to be addressed are how to transform the BPEL specifications into a HPN, and how to design a script language to describe the test case generation that according to the characteristics of BPEL. A BPEL specification analyzer and a test script language are presented. A tool called BPEL-based testing automatic has been designed and partially implemented. BTA will take a user-defined test case template and the set of test data generated to produce the executable test cases.
