Abstract

Middleware is at the heart of any distributed application and its correctness therefore requires rigorous testing. Since middleware technologies typically support heterogeneous environments, its API is available for different programming languages. Functional tests written to test the functionality of a middleware platform therefore have to be re-written for all those programming languages. The framework introduced in this paper shows how functional tests written in Java can automatically be translated to other programming languages such as C++. This is achieved by using the XML-based programming language XMLVM. XMLVM can automatically be created from Java class files. The cross-language translations are accomplished by using XSL-transformations of XMLVM programs.
