Abstract:
In this paper, we present an approach to model testing as a service for component-based development. The approach is based on the Service-oriented Architecture in which testing services are modeled using UML collaboration structure to support the validation of components. We categorize two types of components: elementary and composite. Elementary components are non-decomposable and reusable computing units. Composite components are developed by composing existing components, which can either be elementary or composite ones. Our main contributions presented in this paper are: (1) to provide an approach for modeling component testing as a service; and (2) to provide a constructive mechanism for composing testing services. In this paper, testing services for railway control system will be used to illustrate our approach.
