1st International Workshop on Testing Data Service based Applications (TeDSA)
http://in2test.lsi.uniovi.es/tedsa2011
Collocated with QSIC 2011, the 11th International Conference On Quality Software
Madrid, Spain, July 13-14, 2011 http://antares.sip.ucm.es/qsic2011
**********************************************************************************
=== SCOPE===
Currently Service-oriented architecture (SOA) becomes more popular choice for enterprise applications to improve flexibility, reusability and agility. Data services are introduced to enable the insulation of applications and business services from the physical implementation of data integration, enabling greater flexibility and optimization of data placement, access and quality. A data service is software that performs a data integration task and conforms to the definition of service. SOA implies a clear separation between the consumers of data and the storage and delivery of data. Services that exclusively perform data- oriented tasks at the request of business services, applications and processes will provide this separation, which will be the key to meeting the data challenges of SOA.
The concept of data-as-a-service (DaaS) basically advocates the view that any business process can access data wherever it resides. Data-as-a-service began with the notion that data quality could happen in a centralized place, cleansing and enriching data and offering it to different systems, applications or users, irrespective of where they were in the organization or on the network.
Testing services, and specially data services, have new challengers such as the persistent data of the system needs to be accounted for in order to derive the test suite. Also the processing of queries and the transaction management add new goals for the research community. This first edition of the workshop will be organized as a part of the QSIC’2011. It aims at assessing the current approaches and technologies, as well as to outline the major challenges and future perspectives identifying issues in testing data service based applications.
=== TOPICS OF INTEREST===
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for practitioners and researchers interested in testing, services and database intensive applications to meet, and exchange research and implementation ideas and share the most exciting results. It offers for practitioners and researchers with diverse backgrounds, an opportunity to present research papers, share experiences, and participate in open discussions. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, theoretical and/or empirical exploration of testing data service based applications, tools, as well as case studies and industrial experiences related to:
Foundations
-----------------
Definition of formal acceptance criteria for data services
Test case generation, reduction and prioritization for data services
Test output evaluation and test oracles for data services
Unit, integration, regression testing and acceptance testing for data services
Testeability of data services
Runtime testing and monitoring data services
Practice
-----------
Testing queries
Data services transactions
Fault tolerance and exception handling
Quality of Data and legacy systems
Security of data service
Testing e-business and e-government
Test governance
=== PAPER SUBMISSION, REVIEW AND PUBLISHING ===
All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review.
Papers should not exceed 8 pages in length. Each submitted paper must conform to the IEEE format and submission guidelines. Submissions will be evaluated according to the relevance and originality of the work and to their ability to generate discussions between the participants of the workshop. TeDSA 2011 will accept submissions through easyChair TeDSA website http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tedsa2011
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their comments will be provided to the authors. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Digital Library together with the proceeding of QSIC 2011.
=== IMPORTANT DATES ===
March 12, 2011: Deadline for submission of papers
April 20, 2011: Notification to authors
April 30, 2011: Deadline for camera-ready versions
