Abstract

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an IT architectural style that supports service-orientation. ServiceOrientation represents a way of thinking about business and IT. SOA removed the gap between software and business.The Web service is the common technology to implement SOA. This paper proposes an automatic test data generation approach of web services through XML schema. Our proposed approach ensures the traceability of each element presents in the XML schema by using XML tree table structure. Further, itidentifies the complexity of the nodes and use the propose algorithm to generate the test data.
