An Enhanced Tool for Migration Testing of Web Applications

Abstract

Software organizations often need to migrate applications from one platform or technology to another for a variety of reasons. The software engineering research community is trying to find out techniques by which such migration projects can be carried out efficiently. The present paper proposes a technique called e-Splitter, to address the challenge of testing of migrated web application by enhancing an approach called Splitter. The paper attempts to draw on the power of genetic algorithms in addressing complex problems. Through an empirical study, we show that eSplitter performs better than Splitter in testing of migrated web applications.
