English Abstract

-The Web Service is a new approach of developing distributed applications which appeared to tackle the differences among program languages and infrastructures.

Also, the Web Service interacts the applications with one another whether they are local or remote.

The Web Service is a code which is encapsulated by the programmer who is in a remote side.

The programmer can use the Web Service by Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and Web Service Description Language (WSDL) which have parameters and their types.

As any software, the testing stage must be done.

So, many testing techniques appeared to test this kind of application.

Every tool concentrated on specific attribute of quality of the Web Service.

To use any tool, the tester should have a full understanding of the nature of what the tool can do and how the WSDL could be read then decide whether the specified tool is really suitable for this parameter in the Web Service or not.

Depending on the previous explanation, due to the number of the existing, it takes the tester a long time to choose the suitable tool.

It also demands that the tester should have enough knowledge about every single tool.

Therefore, this project proposes an approach to select a testing technique automatically.

This would reduce the time that the tester uses in selecting the suitable tool as it immediately selects a tool when our approach accesses the Web Service.

Our approach selects a suitable testing tool instead of the tester.

Thus, the problem of selecting a tool is solved by this approach, and it has the ability to accept a new tool and update the old one if necessary.

The main contribution of this project is to select automatically the suitable testing technique for certain parameter in the Web Service.

The selection is occurred depend on the saved rules of each testing technique.

The rules are match with data type and constraining facet in the WSDL file.
