The Research of the Web Service Test Model

Abstract

Web Service involves many participants including service developers, providers, UDDI, and clients, and provides a kind of distributed architecture model. Different participants of the web service own different resource related to the service, so, the test method they use will be also different. From the perspective of service users, the paper proposes a service test model. The model is mainly consist of three sub-models including the user requirements model, the WSDL model, and the generation model of the test cases. Users can make a function test by using the model only with the WSDL document. According to the test model, a prototype tool is implemented. In the last, an example is given to simulate the process of service test and validate the feasibility of the model.
