Abstract
The service-oriented approach is becoming more and more popular to integrate highly heterogeneous systems. Web services are the natural evolution of conventional middleware technologies to support Web-based and enterprise level integration. Formal testing of such Web-based technology is a key point to guarantee its reliability. In this paper, we choose a non-intrusive approach based on monitoring to propose a conformance passive testing methodology to check that a composed Web service respects its functional requirements. This methodology is based on a set of formal invariants representing properties to be tested including data and time constraints. Passive testing of an industrial system (that uses a composition of Web services) is briefly presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
