Abstract

We present JoT, a testing framework for Microservice Architectures (MSAs) based on technology agnosticism, a core principle of microservices. The main advantage of JoT is that it reduces the amount of work for a) testing for MSAs whose services use different technology stacks, b) writing tests that involve multiple services, and c) reusing tests of the same MSA under different deployment configurations or after changing some of its components. In JoT, tests are orchestrators that can both consume or offer operations from/to the MSA under test. The language for writing JoT tests is Jolie, which provides constructs that support technology agnosticism and the definition of terse test behaviours.

JoT：用于测试微服务的 Jolie 框架

我们提出了微服务架构（MSA）的测试框架 JoT，它基于微服务的核心原则--技术不可知论。JoT 的主要优势在于减少了以下方面的工作量：a）测试使用不同技术栈的服务的 MSA；b）编写涉及多个服务的测试；c）在不同部署配置下或更改部分组件后重复使用同一 MSA 的测试。在 JoT 中，测试是一种协调器，既可以消费被测 MSA，也可以向被测 MSA 提供操作。编写 JoT 测试的语言是 Jolie，它提供了支持技术无关性和简洁测试行为定义的结构。

期刊介绍： Science of Computer Programming is dedicated to the distribution of research results in the areas of software systems development, use and maintenance, including the software aspects of hardware design. The journal has a wide scope ranging from the many facets of methodological foundations to the details of technical issues andthe aspects of industrial practice. The subjects of interest to SCP cover the entire spectrum of methods for the entire life cycle of software systems, including • Requirements, specification, design, validation, verification, coding, testing, maintenance, metrics and renovation of software; • Design, implementation and evaluation of programming languages; • Programming environments, development tools, visualisation and animation; • Management of the development process; • Human factors in software, software for social interaction, software for social computing; • Cyber physical systems, and software for the interaction between the physical and the machine; • Software aspects of infrastructure services, system administration, and network management.
