  • Patent number: 9367435
    Abstract: A method of testing a web service includes obtaining web service metadata from the web service. Test cases are generated automatically using the web service metadata, heuristic algorithm modules selected based on the contents of the web service metadata, and stochastic processes. Energy selection logic is used to update test parameters included in the test cases between rounds of testing until a set of test cases is generated that produces test results meeting one or more predetermined criteria. Testing is performed periodically using that set of test cases until the test results indicate that the web service has changed. New test cases are automatically generated and used to test the web service until test results meet the one or more predetermined criteria.
