Testing service-oriented applications

The changes resulting from the evolution of Service Based Systems (SBSs) may degrade their design and quality of service (QoS) and may often cause the appearance of common poor solutions, called antipatterns. The automatic detection of antipatterns is thus important to assess the design and QoS of SBSs and ease their maintenance and evolution. Using our approach, we specify 10 well-known and common antipatterns, including Multi Service and Tiny Service, and we automatically generate their detection algorithms [50] .
