HiRSA: computing hit ratio for SOA-based applications through Tcases

Abstract

In this article, we propose a novel method for black-box test case generation for business process execution language (BPEL) processes. We also propose a method to compute hit ratio percentage metric. We also compute the total time taken for test case generation and the speed of test case generation. We design the service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based applications using OpenESB tool. We have developed a code converter to generate Tcases compatible .xml code because the OpenESB generated .xml code is incompatible with Tcases input framework. After that, we compute the hit ratio percentage with the help of Hit Ratio Calculator. We have experimented with 12 SOA-based applications, on an average, we achieve 62.78% of hit ratio with an average time of 873.08 ms and speed of 32.41 ≈ 32 test cases per second.
