Abstract

Web services compositions must provide different utilities to hundreds even thousands of users simultaneously. An important challenge of testing these applications is load testing. For this purpose, we proposed in a previous work a test architecture aiming to study the limitations of WS-BPEL compositions under load conditions. We also concretized our solution by implementing a tool support (WSCLim). We introduce in this paper a case study on Hospital Blood Ordering for Transfusion Purposes in order to best illustrate our solution.
