This paper addresses one of the major problems
of SOA software development: the lack of support for testing
complex service-oriented systems. The research community has
developed various means for checking individual Web services
but has not come up with satisfactory solutions for testing systems
that operate in service-based environments and, therefore, need
realistic testbeds for evaluating their quality. We regard this
as an unnecessary burden for SOA engineers. As a proposed
solution for this issue, we present the Genesis2 testbed generator
framework. Genesis2 supports engineers in modeling testbeds
and programming their behavior. Out of these models it generates
running instances of Web services, clients, registries, and other
entities in order to emulate realistic SOA environments. By generating
real testbeds, our approach assists engineers in performing
runtime tests of their systems and particular focus has been
put on the framework´s extensibility to allow the emulation of
arbitrarily complex environments. Furthermore, by exploiting
the advantages of the Groovy language, Genesis2 provides an
intuitive yet powerful scripting interface for testbed control.
