Very late binding, run-time integration of software elements owned and managed by third parties, run-time changes. These are just some of the characteristics of the service oriented computing paradigm which strongly affect static and dynamic verification capabilities. In this domain verification and testing research communities have to face new issues and revise existing solutions; possibly profiting...
The European Project TAS3 addresses the challenge of combining the openness, flexibility, dynamicity offered by service-oriented applications, together with privacy, security and reliability characteristics that are required when personal information is handled. In addition to appropriate authorization and authentication mechanisms, it is important to put in place appropriate validation procedures...
In every application domain, achieving interoperability among heterogenous information systems is a crucial challenge and alliances are formed to standardize data-exchange formats. In the healthcare sector, HL7-V3 provides the current international reference models for clinical and administrative documents. Codices, an Italian company, provides the PICASSO platform that uses HL7-V3 as the pivot format...
The service-oriented architecture (SOA) is the emerging paradigm in information technology. More than a true "architecture", SOA provides a general reference model for the development, deployment and management of distributed dynamic systems. Companies are progressively adopting service-oriented technology, because of its many (real or idealized) foreseen benefits, among which notably loose...
Service oriented computing is an emerging discipline that promotes and make easier inter-organization integration of software systems. In such a context interoperability issues are considered a primary threat for a correct integration. Testing can be a fruitful approach helping to reduce interoperability mismatches. In this paper, considering the case of services to be integrated within an orchestration,...
We present the XML-based partition testing (XPT) approach for the automatic generation of XML instances from a XML schema. The approach is inspired by the well-known category partition method for black-box testing. The generated instances can be used for inter-operability testing of applications that expect in input conforming XML instances, as well as for other interesting purposes, such as database...
