Web服务测试研究

Web服务技术为软件测试研究带来了新的挑战。Web服务测试需要能够适应面向服务的新的分布式计算体系架构。为保证服务的质量，Web服务需要从多个层次进行验证与确认，包括基础设施、单元服务、集成服务等；测试需涵盖服务的功能、性能、可靠性、安全等各个方面。本文从web服务体系架构和应用模式出发，讨论了Web服务测试的主要问题。文章分析当前相关研究的现状，并归纳总结了SOAP协议验证、WSDL语言扩展、基于模型的服务集成验证、和测试构架等主要研究成果。本文最后讨论了当前存在的主要问题及进一步的研究方向。

Research on Web Service Testing

As an evolutionary technology,Web services poses new challenges for software testing. Web service testing need to be adaptive to distributed coordinated environment. To ensure the quality of Web services, services need to be verified and validated at different levels including infrastructure, unit and integration, from different perspectives including functionality, performance, reliability, security, etc. The paper analyzes the issues of web service testing and gives an overview of testing techniques on SOAP protocol verification, WSDL extension, and model based verification techniques of composite service specification. It finally discusses future research and practice on Web service testing.
