Abstract

The TestPar project aims to support the concurrent programs testing activity. This master's project aims to improve the structural testing of concurrent programs activity by providing a web services composition, bringing to this testing activity the benefits offered by Web services. This service composition involves two levels of interactions: interactions between clients (desktop tools and web applications) and services and interactions between services. For the research internship abroad (BEPE), we propose the specification, implementation and validation of the interfaces (API) for first-level interactions: the interaction between the composition of services and clients. As a result of this project, we expect the definition of all parameters and interactions between clients and services for the structural testing of concurrent programs activity. Such studies will be implemented and validated through a prototype. Furthermore, it is expected to get a web (client) tool that allowed interaction with the composition. This specification and prototype are essential for studies originally proposed in the master's project. (AU)
