monadWS: a monad-based testing tool for web services.

Testing Web Services (WS) is very important because it could guarantee a high degree of service quality and reliability. Automatic WS testing tools enable testers to complete testing in a shorter time, and they make it easy to repeat tests after each modification to a service. In this paper, we present monadWS, a prototype tool of monad-based automated testing for WS, which enables concrete description, autogeneration and execution for WS test cases with the design of service testing monads. The results show that monadWS is feasible and effective for testing WS.
