Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for a service testing application. A service testing application executes test operations for services in a service-oriented architecture. If a test is failed, services that are dependent upon a failing service are reconfigured to instead call a corresponding service in a different installation of the service-oriented architecture. A dependency model of the service-oriented architecture may be searched to determine which service dependencies to reconfigure.

First claim

Therefore, the following is claimed:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, wherein the program, when executed, causes the at least one computing device to at least:
execute, according to a dependency model, a plurality of test operations corresponding to a plurality of services in a first installation of a service-oriented architecture;
determine a first failing one of the plurality of services as a function of the plurality of test operations, the first failing one of the plurality of services being independent of a second failing one of the plurality of services;
modify a reference of one of the plurality of services dependent on the first failing one of the plurality of services to be directed to a distinct instance of the first failing one of the plurality of services executed in a second installation of the service-oriented architecture;
determine a first subset of the plurality of services to share a same installation as the first failing one of the plurality of services;
individual ones of a second subset of the plurality of services having a respective URL (Uniform Resource Locator) reference directed to a respective one of the first subset of the plurality of services to be directed to a distinct instance of the respective one of the first subset of the plurality of services executed in the second installation of the service-oriented architecture;
wherein the first installation of the service-oriented architecture is executed in a first data center region and the second installation of the service-oriented architecture is executed in a second data center region distinct from the first data center region.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the test operations comprise at least one of a regression test, a validation test, a verification test, or a coverage test.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the program further causes the at least one computing device to parse an output of a test framework, and the first failing one of the plurality of services is determined according to the parsing.

4. A system, comprising:
at least one computing device configured to at least:
execute a plurality of test operations associated with an operation of a plurality of services of a first installation of a service-oriented architecture;
modify, responsive to a first one of the plurality of services corresponding to a failed one of the plurality of test operations, a configuration of a second one of the plurality of services calling the first one of the plurality of services to call a distinct instance of the first one of the plurality of services executed in a second installation of the service-oriented architecture;
determine a first subset of the plurality of services to share a same installation as the first one of the plurality of services; and
modify individual ones of a second subset of the plurality of services configured to call a respective one of the first subset of the plurality of services to call a distinct instance of the respective one of the first subset of the plurality of services executed in the second installation of the service-oriented architecture.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first installation of the service-oriented architecture is executed in a first data center region and the second installation of the service-oriented architecture is executed in a second data center region distinct from the first data center region.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the failed one of the plurality of test operations is a first failed one of the plurality of test operations, and the at least one computing device is further configured to at least:
determine, responsive to the first one of the plurality of services corresponding to the first failed one of the plurality of test operations, if a third one of the plurality of services corresponds to a second failed one of the plurality of test operations, the third one of the plurality of services being configured to call the first one of the plurality of services;
modify, responsive to the third one of the plurality of services corresponding to the second failed one of the plurality of test operations, a configuration of the first one of the plurality of services to call a distinct instance of the third one of the plurality of services; and
wherein the modifying the configuration of the second one of the plurality of services is further performed responsive to the third one of the plurality of services not corresponding to the second failed one of the plurality of test operations.

7. The system of claim 4 , modifying the configuration of the second one of the plurality of services comprises modifying a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) reference directed to the first one of the plurality of services.

8. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first subset of the plurality of services and the first one of the plurality of services are configured to access stateful data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the stateful data comprises data stored in a data store.

10. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first subset of the plurality of services and the first one of the plurality of services correspond to a cyclical dependency.

11. The system of claim 4 , wherein the test operations comprise at least one of a validation test, a verification test, or a coverage test.

12. The system of claim 4 , wherein executing the plurality of test operations further comprises:
parsing an output of a test framework; and
determine whether the first one of the plurality of services corresponds to the failed one of the plurality of test operations as a function of the parsing.

13. A method, comprising:
executing, in a computing device, according to a dependency model, a plurality of test operations corresponding to a plurality of services of a first installation of a service-oriented architecture;
determining, in the computing device, a first failing one of the plurality of services as a function of the plurality of test operations, the first failing one of the plurality of services being independent of a second failing one of the plurality of services;
modifying, in the computing device, a configuration of one of the plurality of services dependent on the first failing one of the plurality of services to call a distinct instance of the first failing one of the plurality of services executed in a second installation of the service-oriented architecture;
executing, in the computing device, after modifying the configuration of the first one of the plurality of services, one of the plurality of test operations corresponding to the first one of the plurality of services; and
modifying, in the computing device, responsive to a failing of the one of the plurality of test operations, a configuration of a second one of the plurality of services dependent on the first one of the plurality of services to call a distinct instance of the first one of the plurality of services.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first one of the plurality of services is executed in a first region, and the distinct instance of the first one of the plurality of services is executed in a second region distinct from the first region.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising
determining, in the computing device, a first subset of the plurality of services to share a same installation as the first failing one of the plurality of services;
modifying, in the computing device, individual ones of a second subset of the plurality of services configured to call a res
