Integration Testing of Composite Applications

Testing and verification in service‐oriented architecture: a survey

“…For example, the approach of Tarhini et al might be rendered inapplicable because of not being able to know the services available at run‐time and not being able choose the service to bound at run‐time. On the other hand, the approaches of Huang et al , Peyton et al , Tsai et al and Mei et al might become more expensive to perform.…”

“…Peyton et al proposed a testing framework that can perform ‘grey‐box’ integration testing of composite applications and their underlying services. The proposed framework is implemented in Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 , a European Telecommunications Standards Institute standard test specification and implementation language.…”

Integration Testing of Web Applications and Databases Using TTCN-3

“…They particularly recommend to avoid the traditional approach of resetting the state of a database before each test as is often recommended [9] because this is a time consuming process and also because it does not reflect the realities of a multi-user application in general. In TTCN-3, we have already shown the benefits of multi-user application testing in [17] and believe the extension of these principles to databases should be straightforward.…”

A Testing Process for Interoperability and Conformance of Secure Web Services

“…The bibliography acknowledges three main types of testing: black box, white box and grey box testing (Peyton et al, 2008).  Black box testing treats the software as a black-box where only the inputs and outputs of the black box are tested without any understanding of the internal behaviour or the adopted specifications.…”
