Run-Time Monitoring for Model-Based Testing of Distributed Systems

Abstract

Abstract-Modern enterprise systems are highly distributed and heterogeneous. Apart from the latest attempts on leveraging distributed systems with SOA and SOA-like enterprise integration systems, testing still represents a major challenge. This paper discusses practical approach for managing the testing process for distributed systems based on transparent test environment, run-time monitoring of interactions within this environment and interaction model generation.We also outline an approach for test case generation based on the interaction model and test coverage metric based on the coverage of interaction tree.
