ARTOSC Innovations (1)

• Built-in contract testing in highly dynamic SOA
  context
• Traditional development-time testing ?
  runtime testability and testing
• Products service tester specification,
  specification of the testing interfaces
• Process how to develop the infrastructure how
  to connect its individual parts

8
ARTOSC Innovations (2)

• Model-based Testing (in an industry-scale case
  study)
• Automate the development process of the test
  software (i.e. test interfaces, test suites, etc)
• Challenge partial models, non-formal models
• Future towards protocol issuing components

ARTOSC Benefits

• Addressing 2 primary dimensions of engineering
  cost and quality
• Faster SOA deployment and evolution, through
• Runtime assembly
• Automation
• Better SOA quality, through
• Standardized and automated testing processes
