Web services● Interoperable communication
● Machine readable interface

places
● In SOA context:● Soap/WSDL web services● A WS can be composed in a more complex one
3
Orchestration
● Centralized● Process● BPEL and SCA
A
● Difficult to manage● Less scalable
B

4
Choreography
● Decentralized● Distributed
coordination● WS-CDL and BPMN 2

5
Choreography● Roles: interface (WSDL) and behavior
● Distributed coordinators playing roles (Peltz, 2003)

Problems of choreographies
● Development● Complex● Focus on modeling● No widely-adopted standards
● Testing● Parallel and many messages● Binding problems● Third-party governance rules
7
Consequences
● A lack of ● development methodologies and processes● tools for automated testing of WS compositions● tools for supporting development (e.g., debugging)
● Consequences● Ad hoc choreographies
– Low quality●Low adoption
8
Our Goals
A testing framework to support Test-Driven Development (TDD) of choreographies
services and roles in isolation
messages exchanged entire
choreography
9
Test-Driven Development (TDD)
● A design technique that drives the development process through testing [1]
RefactorRefactor CodeCode
TestTest
1. Write an AUTOMATED test for next functionality you want to add;
2. Write the functional code until the test passes;
3. Refactor the new and old parts of the code.
[1] (Fowler, 2001; Beck, 2003)
10
Motivation
● Most existing efforts [2] for testing choreographies● Focus on validation and simulation of models● None of them focus on TDD
● Aggregate more importance to development activities
● TDD can facilitate the choreography development and leverage its adoption

Agenda
● Rehearsal ● TDD methodology proposal● Exploratory study● Conclusions

Choreography testing

Unit and Acceptance testing● WSClient: a dynamic generator of web service
clients● Related work
● SoapUI (SmathBear, 2012)● SOCT (Bartolini, 2009) ● BISTWS (Medeiros, 2010)
● Drawbacks:● Tests written in XML ● The service contract must be available
15
WSClient
● Testing web services without having the contract
● Service operations are validated at runtime
16
WSClient

WSClientItem explorer
Creating Item objects automatically
18
Integration testing● Message Interceptor● Related work
● Pi4SOA (Pi4, 2012)● CDL-Checker (Wang, 2010)
– Messages are validated by simulation
● BPEL Unit (Mayer, 2006)– Test cases are written in XML– Coupled to BPEL engines
19
Message Interceptor
Intercepting, storing and validating messages exchanged among services and roles

Integration testing● How to deal with thirdy-party constraints ?
● Governance rules● Absence of testing environment
● WSMock: service mocking● Related Works
● SoapUI (SmartBear, 2012)– Difficult to manage and customize– Basis for the WSMock implementation
22
WSMock
Simulating regular and faulty scenarios

Abstraction of Choreography
Abstracting the choreography elements into objects● Test cases can be written easily and clearly● Help to understand the choreography execution● Relate the test cases to the choreography models

Abstraction of ChoreographyFuture: bookTrip = new Choreography(“book.bpmn2”);
Service airline1 = bookTrip.getServicesByRole(“airline”).get(0);
WSClient ws = new WSClient (airline1.getWSDL());
Item flight = ws.request(“searchFlight”, “São Paulo”, “Paris”, … );
assert(“O-815”, flight.getContent(“id”));
Actual: bookTrip = new Choreography(“descriptor.yml”);
26
TDD Methodology proposal
27
Creation or adaptation of atomic web services
– Choreography developed from scratch● Contract is defined by the tests
– Other cases● Tests guide the development
● Tests are an executable documentation– WSClient!
Phase 01
28
Example of executable specification
Phase 01
29
Phase 2: services to compose the roles
Phase 3: roles to compose the choreography
– Validate the messages exchanged inside/outside the executable processes
● Mocking real dependencies● Using the Message Interceptor for
inspecting and validating the messages
– Detect binding problems early
Phases 2 and 3
30
Acceptance and Scalability Testing– Validate all choreography features from the
user point of view● Trying to use an environment closer to the
production
– Assess the choreography scalability● large workload and different choreography
configurations
Phase 4
31
Exploratory Study
32
● Subjects: 21 CS students of IME-USP● 2 phases
● Varying the experience in web service development and TDD
● Systematic protocol
Design
( 4 tasks )
33
RQ1: Does the Rehearsal features aid in the application of the proposed methodology steps ? RQ2: Does the proposed methodology provide adequate guidelines for developing a choreography ?
Phase 1
Assessing the adequacy of using Rehearsal following the TDD methodology proposal
