TECHNIQUES FOR WEB SERVICE BLACK BOX TESTING

摘要

A technique for synthesizing tests from a Web service document includes locating at least one parameter for at least one client to server function call in a Web service document. Client validation constraints for the at least one parameter are discovered. Server validation constraints for the at least one parameter in the Web service document are discovered. At least one range for the at least one parameter that will be accepted by the server and not be accepted by the client is discovered. Tests using parameter values from the discovered at least one range are synthesized.

主权项

1. A computer system configured to synthesize tests from a Web service document, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the processors are configured to implement: a function call identifier configured to locate at least one parameter for at least one client to server function call in a Web service document; a client constraint discovery engine configured to discover client validation constraints for the at least one parameter; a server constraint discovery engine configured to discover server validation constraints for the at least one parameter; a range identifier configured to discover at least one range for the at least one parameter that will be accepted by the server and not be accepted by the client; and a test synthesizer configured to build tests using values in the identified at least one range.
