“…While most of the work focuses on preregistration testing [27,28] and subsequently in [15], others focused on providing agent based testing techniques. For example, in [34] a service oriented framework to solve testing of web services was proposed. The approach enables collaborations between various parties involved in the development of WS applications via service request and service providing.…”

“…Despite this valid observation, we find that only little research has been done in this area. For example, most testing efforts of CWSs focus on: test process automation for WSs using agent-based technologies [30,34]; automatic generation of test cases for testing WSs [21], and recently BPEL-based unit testing for CWSs [22]. Most of these efforts however, did not address testing of CWSs the context of a structural framework that could capture the separation of concerns: semantic, control; data; security; and exception in a CWS or a process workflow.…”

Testing web services impose many challenges to existing testing methods, techniques, and tools; especially those available to traditional applications. Composed web services increase these challenges by requiring additional validation and verification efforts. Structural-based testing approaches have been thoroughly researched for traditional applications; however, they have not yet been examined, as a methodology, for testing composed web services. In this work, we introduce a formal model for an abstract-based workflow framework that can be used to capture a composed web service under test. We then define a set of applicable structural-based testing criteria to the framework. Finally we outline a promising line of testing criteria that can be applied to this framework.
