“…Recently researcher has started to explore its applicability in the context of service computing [2-4, 6, 9, 18, 19]. Mani et al [20] uses preconditions and postconditions as the basic elements of their semantic service stubs. Rubinger et al [19]uses the .Net code contract system to conduct their experienced study on Facebook API.…”

Web-based API is a new trend for publishing services. To correctly use the API, developers should follow certain service specifications. Data contract is a service specification to express the constraints over the data model used in the APIs. Data contracts, however are not always readily available in a formalized format if not undocumented at all. In this paper, we present an approach to infer formal data contracts for Web-based API. The approach integrates information of the parameters, error messages and testing result of Web-based API. We demonstrate how this approach infers complicated data preconditions for Web-based API in the real-world Web API platforms.

“…The approaches using simulated testing [11,12,14,15] has the potential benefit of reducing testing cost by testing the correctness of a service composition offline. The approaches aimed at generating replacement services [12,13,16,24] can directly reduce the testing by avoiding calls to the actual services during testing. Even though these approaches can potentially reduce testing cost they do not eliminate the need for runtime testing.…”

“…Effects of testing in some systems, such as stock-exchange systems, where each usage of the service requires a business transaction, that carries with it a monetary cost. Solutions aimed at reducing the cost of testing in ScST, such as simulated testing and stub/mock services have previously been proposed [11,12,13,14,15,16]. However, these approaches do not eliminate the need for runtime testing (testing with real services).…”

Runtime testing cost caused by service invocations is considered as one of the major limitations in Service-centric System Testing (ScST). Unfortunately, most of the existing work cannot achieve cost reduction at runtime as they perform offline testing. In this paper, we introduce a novel cost-aware pareto optimal test suite minimisation approach for ScST aimed at reducing runtime testing cost. In experimental analysis, the proposed approach achieved reductions between 69% and 98.6% in monetary cost of service invocations while retaining test suite coverage. The results also provided evidence for the effectiveness of the selected algorithm HNSGA-II over the two commonly used algorithms: Greedy and NSGA-II.

“…The research [25] provided an approach to design test cases based on functional properties of highlevel business process model. The study [26] proposed an approach for reducing the costs to test such applications, and how can semantic stubs enable the client test suite to be partitioned into subsets, some of which don't use to execute remote services. Model driven approach is presented in [27], this approach to generate executable test cases from business processes.…”

Service oriented architecture (SOA) is one of the latest software architectures. This architecture is created in direction of the business requirements and for removing the gap between softwares and businesses. The software testing is rising cost of activities in development software. SOA has different specifications and features proportion of the other software architectures. According to these features of the system, we cannot apply all approaches and methodologies of testing in the typical software systems for testing in the SOA systems, and there are need to specific procedures for testing the service oriented systems and/or change in the testing approaches.This document presents an approach for test cases generation automatically at the SOA system. First, this approach creates a control flow graph of BPEL file in the system and services related of the main service, WSIG file is used to create subgraphs of the related services. Then, the test cases create randomly of the primary test for graph in the generated system. Final, it tries to create test cases require to cover of the system graph through randomly generation and the genetic algorithms. This algorithm will compare with standard genetic algorithm and we will show the algorithm has performance better than the other algorithm.
