Abstract

Web services are a software technology which is based on Service-oriented architecture that is used to provide business functionalities on the web. Thus it is important to ensure proper quality and maintenance of Web Services. Maintenance activity is assumed to be the most expensive activity in software development. Regression testing is a part of maintenance which is done every time whenever a change is made to the software. Regression testing is challenging and time-consuming activity in web services because they are inherently distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic in nature. Thus it is important to reduce regression test effort thereby reducing software maintenance costs. In this paper we have given an efficient approach by which we can effectively carry out regression testing of a web-based application system whenever any changes is made to system.
