“…In this paper, we extend this work in two aspects: i) The use of the goto capability of web browsers is considered, where the use of the back button is regarded as a special case; and ii) The issues arisen for the webpage traversal by cookies are considered. In addition, the time complexity of our algorithm is O(q(p + q)), compared to the time complexity O(p 2 q 3 log(p)) for both CPP and the algorithm proposed in [9].…”

“…In [9], we presented a test generation technique to reduce the lengths of the generated test sequences by making use of the back button of web browsers. In this paper, we extend this work in two aspects: i) The use of the goto capability of web browsers is considered, where the use of the back button is regarded as a special case; and ii) The issues arisen for the webpage traversal by cookies are considered.…”

Correct navigational behavior of a web application is essential to its reliability. An effective means to improve our confidence in the correct behavior of a web application is to test it by exploring the possible navigation among the webpages at client side: The tester carries out the testing by consecutively clicking the hyperlinks along with some possible search parameters and checking whether the returned webpages are as expected. This type of client-side testing can be viewed as a traverse in a graph representing the considered webpages together with the hyperlinks among them. To reach an efficient test that traverses all hyperlinks considered, we make use of the interface provided by web browsers, typically, the goto menu. In doing so, the issues raised by cookies and URL rewriting are taken into account. Compared to the case without using the interface of web browsers, our experiments show a 17%-24% saving on the test sequence lengths in most cases.
