Abstract

While Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) are for many parts deployed online, and today often in a cloud, the testing of the systems still happens mostly locally. In this paper, we want to present the MIDAS Testing as a Service (TaaS), a cloud platform for the testing of SOAs. We focus on the testing of whole SOA orchestrations, a complex task due to the number of potential service interactions and the increasing complexity with each service that joins an orchestration. Since traditional testing does not scale well with such a complex setup, we employ a Model-based Testing (MBT) approach based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the UML Testing Profile (UTP) within MIDAS. Through this, we provide methods for functional testing, security testing, and usage-based testing of service orchestrations. Through harnessing the computational power of the cloud, MIDAS is able to generate and execute complex test scenarios which would be infeasible to run in a local environment.

用于测试SOA应用程序的MIDAS云平台

虽然面向服务的体系结构(soa)用于在线部署的许多部件，并且今天通常在云中，但系统的测试仍然主要在本地进行。在本文中，我们想要介绍MIDAS测试即服务(TaaS)，一个用于测试soa的云平台。我们将重点放在整个SOA编排的测试上，由于潜在服务交互的数量和加入编排的每个服务的复杂性不断增加，这是一项复杂的任务。由于传统的测试不能很好地适应如此复杂的设置，我们在MIDAS中采用基于统一建模语言(UML)和UML测试概要文件(UTP)的基于模型的测试(MBT)方法。通过这种方式，我们为服务编排的功能测试、安全测试和基于使用的测试提供了方法。通过利用云的计算能力，MIDAS能够生成并执行在本地环境中无法运行的复杂测试场景。
