WS-Guard (WS-Guaranteeing Uddi Audition at Registration and Discovery) provides an implementation of the Audition Framework. Main idea of the Audition framework is to augment the registration phase of a service within a registry with a testing phase. Registration is then guaranteed only if the service passes the testing phase. WS-Guard to derive test cases to be applied to services requires the availability behavioral models in the form of Service State Machines (SSM).
