Testing in Service Oriented Architectures with dynamic binding: A mapping study

Context: Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) have emerged as a new paradigm to develop interoperable and highly dynamic applications. Objective: This paper aims to identify the state of the art in the research on testing in Service Oriented Architectures with dynamic binding. Method: A mapping study has been performed employing both manual and automatic search in journals, conference/workshop proceedings and electronic databases. Results: A total of 33 studies have been reviewed in order to extract relevant information regarding a previously defined set of research questions. The detection of faults and the decision making based on the information gathered from the tests have been identified as the main objectives of these studies. To achieve these goals, monitoring and test case generation are the most proposed techniques testing both functional and non-functional properties. Furthermore, different stakeholders have been identified as participants in the tests, which are performed i...
