Migrating A Corba-Based Tele-Testing Architecture to Internet

Abstract Testing is an essential process in the software and system engineering. TOPEN is an environment that supports the definition and generation of tests usually called acceptance or validation tests. For those systems that cannot be defined formally, test procedures design relies on the test engineer knowledge. Test engineers require a significant support to make their task easier. TOPEN provides this assistance using a model of the system to be tested. Team developments are more and more often distributed over distant geographic regions. TOPEN has been migrated to a new architecture in order to support this distribution process. The described implementation is flexible and, when required, a low cost solution. Within this paper the followed approach, design experience, results and conclusions are described.
