In this paper we propose an Automated Web application Testing (AWAT) system which can be used by instructors to effectively evaluate student web programming projects automatically based on the test cases specified on Excel. The AWAT is driven by WATIR and simulates the actions of human testers to extract information from Web pages, and verify expected outcome based on the test case specification. The system is unique in its ability to interact with web GUI and its portability to work with any client side or server side web application on any platforms.The preliminary experiments have been conducted and We found that the system can provide fairness to the grading of large scaled student projects and can greatly help elevate faculty productivity.
