Testing conceptually consists of three activities: test case generation, test case execution and verdict assignment. Using online testing, test cases are generated and simultaneously executed. This paper presents a framework that automatically generates and executes tests "online" for conformance testing of the Web service composition described in BPEL. The proposed framework considers unit testing and it is based on a timed modeling of BPEL specification, a distributed testing architecture and an online testing algorithm that generates, executes and assigns verdicts to every generated state in the test case.
