An Automated Web Application Testing System

Abstract

Web applications are dynamic and interactive, as compared to traditional applications. Therefore, traditional testing techniques and tools are not sufficient for web applications testing. This paper presents a proposed Web testing approach, in which hyperlinks of the website to be tested are automatically followed one by one to retrieve all HTML texts of its pages starting from the home page. The HTML text of each encountered page is analyzed to extract the needed information about it. Then, the collected information is used in the error checking process. The proposed approach guaranties the satisfaction of two web application testing criteria, namely page coverage criterion and hyperlink coverage criterion. The paper also describes an automated Web application testing system that has been developed to implement the proposed approach. The effectiveness of the proposed approach and the developed system in discovering several possible Web applications errors is demonstrated through a case study.

Automated testing of web applications with multilevel architecture

“…Універсальність веб-додатків є переважною особливістю, яка робить тестування веб-додатків складною задачею [1]. Основною особливістю тестування веб-додатків, що відрізняє його від традиційного тестування десктопних програм, є те, що веб-програми абсолютно різнорідні за природою на різних рівнях [2]. В роботах [3,4] наведено переваги автоматизованого тестування.…”

A Highly Efficient Content Based Approach to Filter Pornography Websites

“…The first group uses textual analysis mainly by searching a list of indicative keywords over the text such as sex, naked, etc. Some representative companies as NetNanny and SurfWatch (Girgis, Mahmoud, & Abd-El-Hafeez, 2010), operate by maintaining lists of URL's and newsgroups and require constant manual updating. In the second methods, textual content-based analysis together with visual features are used to get a more robust classification.…”

A Testing Framework of Adaptive Web Application Based on Multi-agent Collaboration

“…Meanwhile, it becomes an important platform for information transmission and interaction. Since the scale and complexity of Web application platform is increasing, user pursues the higher experience while the requirements of the software are getting higher and higher [3,4]. Thus, it is significant to improve the quality and efficiency of Web application.…”
