Abstract

The paper presents an experiment of the application of software fault injection to assess quality of test sets for business processes orchestrating web-services. The mutation testing, usually used to this end, suffers from high computational costs of generating and running mutants. In contrast to mutation testing, faults injection can be performed at a run-time. Run-time changes are introduced by a Software Fault Injector for BPEL Processes (SFIBP). SFIBP is implemented as a special service that manipulates invocations of web-services and values of their internal variables. As for time requirements, the experiment proved high superiority of the application of the SFIBP over the mutation testing.
