Today, interoperability is the major challenge for e-Business and e-Government domains. The
fundamental solution is the standardization in different levels of business-to-business interactions.
However publishing standards alone are not enough to assure interoperability between
products of different vendors. In this respect, testing and certification activities are very important
to promote standard adoption, validate conformance and interoperability of the products
and maintain correct information exchange. In e-Business collaborations, standards need
to address different layers of interoperability stack / communication layer, business document
layer and business process layer. Although there have been conformance and interoperability
testing tools and initiatives for each one of these categories, there is currently no support
for testing an integration of the above within a test scenario which is similar to real life use
cases. Together with the integration of different layers of testing, testing process should be
automated so that test case execution can be done at low cost, and repeated if required. In
this theses, a highly adaptable and flexible Test Execution Model and a complementary XML
based Test Description Language consisting of high level test constructs which can handle or
simulate different parts or layers of the interoperability stack is designed. The computer interpretable test description language allow dynamic set up of test cases and provides flexibility
to design, modify, maintain and extend the test functionality in contrast to a priori designed
and hard coded test cases. The work presented in this thesis is a part of the TestBATN system
