Abstract

Web systems verification is a crucial activity throughout the systems development life cycle, especially in the phase of service-component architectural design. Indeed, this activity allows the detection and consequently the correction of errors early in Web systems development life cycle. In this paper, we discuss the behavioral verification problem on the SCDL/WS-BPEL service-component architectures. To do so, the Wright formal ADL and the Ada concurrent language were used as a target models. To achieve this, a set of systematic translation rules are proposed. This allows the verification of the standard behavioral properties using the Wr2fdr tool. In addition, using an Ada dynamic analysis tool, we could detect the potential behavioral properties such as the deadlock of an Ada concurrent program.
