Automating Testing of SOA Composite Applications

51 Automating Testing of SOA Composite Applications

This chapter describes how to create, deploy, and run test cases that automate the testing of SOA composite applications. You can also create test cases for testing BPEL process service components included in the SOA composite application. Test cases enable you to simulate the interaction between a SOA composite application and its web service partners before deployment in a production environment. This helps to ensure that a process interacts with web service partners as expected when it is ready for deployment to a production environment.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Introduction to the Composite Test Framework
Introduction to the Components of a Test Suite
Creating Test Suites and Test Cases with the Create Composite Test Wizard
Editing the Contents of Test Cases in Test Mode in the SOA Composite Editor
Testing BPEL Process Service Components
