  9. Business Process AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  10. Test case specification generation • Simple PromelaInterpreter – SPIN • LTL Formulae used for Property-specification • How it works? • SPIN searches all possible states within the model • Checks whether the properties hold • If not  gives a Counter Example • Generate Test Cases with SPIN • Transform Counter Example to Test Cases • Process/Protocol Meta Language – PROMELA • Describes models of distributed Systems AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  11. Test case specification generation • Composition Under Test (CUT) is transformed into PROMELA • Transitions are identified • Mapping Transitions onto the Model • Transition expressed as LTL Property • Run SPIN with the Model and the Input LTL-Properties • Generate Test Cases with the produced Counter Example AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  12. Test case specification generation AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  13. Transforming BPEL specifications into PROMELA • PROMELA also includes BPEL-partners • BPEL portTypes transformed to PROMELA message channels • chanloanassessor_riskPort_IN = [QLENGTH] of {byte, byte, byte}; • Input and Output channel • Message Types are declared as typedefs • Invoke Activity = ! • Receive Activity = ? AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  14. Transforming BPEL specifications into PROMELA - Example BPEL_loanApprovalPort_OUT! approvalInfo.accept • Sends a messagecontainingthe variable approvalInfo.accept • tochannelBPEL_loanApprovalPort_OUT AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  15. Transforming BPEL specifications into PROMELA – Web Service • If the BPEL specification has no reference to the data, it will be given an undefinedvalue • If the data is compared to a numerical constant, it will be given the value of the constant, a lower value and a higher third value • If the data is discrete, it will be given each of the discrete constants in the BPEL specification and a value different from them, called other AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  16. Transforming BPEL specifications into PROMELA – Transitions • BPEL is modelled in PROMELA • transitions are identified in the specification and are mapped within the model • Implicit Transitions • Invoke • Flow • While • Explicit Transitions • Are identified from link constructs • Explicitly transitions between activities (with same source or target) AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  17. Using SPIN to generate test case specifications • Transition expressed as LTL Property • Unique Boolean variables tran1, tran2, tran3, … • Variable will get true in case of the transition being exercised by the model checker • The variable associated with a transition X is always false [] !tranX • Test Case stop if the property tranX is false • To get to end, change property to: • [] ( !tranX || !bpel_ends) AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  18. Using SPIN to generate test case specifications • LTL property: [] ( !tran1 || !bpel_ends) • Example CounterExample for Transition 1, 3, 5: customer: request.amount = 3 customer: BPEL_loanApprovalPort_IN!request bpel: request.amount<4 bpel: tran1 = true bpel: loanassessor_riskAssessmentPort_IN!request assessor: riskAssessment.risk = low assessor: loanassessor_riskAssessmentPort_OUT! riskAssessment bpel: tran3 = true bpel: approvalInfo.accept = yes bpel: tran5 = true bpel: BPEL_loanApprovalPort_OUT!approvalInfo bpel: bpel_ends = true • Transformed into TestCase: • Input: Customer requests for an amount of 3 (less than four) • Input: Assessor sets risk to low • Output: reply to Customer is affirmative AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  19. Using SPIN to generate test case specifications • Full transition coverage with three executions: • {1, 3, 5} • {1, 4, 6} • {2, 6} AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14

  20. Conclusion • Generate test case specification from BPEL composition of web services • Method relies on SPIN Model Checker • Repeat execute to get a test suite for transition coverage • Independence from the particular implementation, only BPEL specification as input needed AK Softwaretechnologie 1 WS 2013/14
