"Fifty Shades of Grey in SOA Testing";
Talk: 9th Workshop on Advances in Model Based Testing (A-MOST 2013) co-located with ICST 2013, Luxembourg; 03-18-2013 - 03-20-2013; in: "Proceedings of the IEEE Sixth International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation Workshops", IEEE Computer Society, (2013), ISBN: 978-0-7695-4993-4; 154 - 157.

Testing is undisputedly a fundamental verification principle in the software landscape. Today´s products require us to effectively handle and test huge, complex systems and in this context to tackle challenging traits like heterogeneity, distribution and controllability to name just a few. The advent of Service-Oriented Architectures with their inherent technological features
like dynamics and heterogeneity exacerbated faced challenges,
requiring us to evolve our technology. The traditional view of
white or black box testing, for example, does not accommodate
the multitude of shades of grey one should be able to exploit
effectively for system-wide tests. Today, while there are a multitude
of approaches for testing single services, there is still few
work on methodological system tests for SOAs. In this paper we
propose a corresponding workflow for tackling SOA testing and
diagnosis, discuss SOA test case generation in more detail, and
report preliminary research in that direction.
