Abstract
Lack of interoperability among enterprise applications has become the biggest impediment to their seamless integration. Although inter-enterprise applications are carefully designed and implemented, a close verification on whether they interoperate should be performed before their deployment. Application developers must be able to effectively identify and correct the problem sources of non-interoperable applications, if any. The paper proposes a novel interoperability test framework necessary to support the verification and correction activities. The proposed test framework provides the interoperability tests by performing a pair of output- and input-conformance tests for individual applications. New test case structures aligned with the proposed test framework are also addressed. An exemplary case study is demonstrated in the context of verification of secure messaging between web service applications.
