Unix Release

In this release, we extended betsy from Windows-only to *nix systems and can confirm that engine benchmarking works on Ubuntu. Furthermore, the release includes regular maintainence, updates and a number of minor fixes and improvements.

Highlights:

• All platform-specific calls and command scripts have been duplicated for both operating environments.
• Benchmarks can now be executed in contemporary public continuous integration infrastructure and also in container environments.
• Engines now use a consistent naming scheme: NAME__VERSION[__CONFIG]*
  Examples: bpelg__5_3__in-memory, ode__1_3_6, openesb__2_2__virtual

SOSE 2015 Release

After one year since its first major release, we are proud to release the second major release with the following additional features:

• Fully automated conformance testing of three BPMN engines
• 70 conformance tests for a variety of BPMN features
• Separating the code base into three parts, namely, BPEL, BPMN and process-language independent packages

The changes are detailed in a conference proceedings paper accepted at the 9th International Symposium on Service-oriented System Engineering (SOSE 2015). A preprint of the paper can be found here.

SOCA 2014 Release

Betsy is a tool to check the degree of conformance of a BPEL engine against the BPEL standard. In this release, betsy was used to determine both the robustness capabilities and the static analysis conformance of BPEL engines. Both papers are presented at the 7th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2014).

BPEL Testing Release

After one and a half years since its initial public release, we are proud to release the first major version of betsy. Feature highlights:

• Fully automated conformance testing of nine BPEL engines
• Almost 250 conformance tests for all features of BPEL
• Highly configurable test setup
• Easily readable and graphical display of test results
• Option for virtual deployment of engines
• GUI for installing, starting and uninstalling engines
• Minimalistic software requirements

ICST 2014 Release

Betsy is a tool to check the degree of conformance of a BPEL engine against the BPEL standard. In this release, betsy was extended to vbetsy which supports the use of virtualization techniques to speed up the overall testing time for the paper "Automated and Isolated Tests for Complex Middleware Products: The Case of BPEL Engines" which was presented at the 7th International Conference on Software Testing, Verification and Validation in the Testing Tools Track. A preprint version of the paper is available here .

ICSOC 2013 release

Betsy is a tool to check the degree of conformance of a BPEL engine against the BPEL standard. Betsy was used in this revision to gather the data for the paper "Open Source versus Proprietary Software in Service-Orientation: The Case of BPEL Engines" which was presented at the 11th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing. A preprint version of the paper is available here.

SOCA 2012 release

Betsy is a tool to check the degree of conformance of a BPEL engine against the BPEL standard. Betsy was used in this revision to gather the data for the paper "BPEL Conformance in Open Source Engines" which was presented at the 5th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications (SOCA 2012). A preprint version of the paper is available here.

Initial public release

Betsy is a tool to check the degree of conformance of a BPEL engine against the BPEL standard. More information can be found in the technical report. A sample output of a run of betsy is attached to this release.
