Abstract

Internet and its web contents are extensively used in real trade and the existence of bugs in software can be disastrous. According to the specific properties of web applications, traditional test approaches are not applicable to this area. Though, lots of methods are proposed to assure the quality of web applications, advances are not considerable yet. This is because the specific properties of web applications have not been taken quite seriously. Our proposed method analyzes the web applications from the user's aspect and based on this analysis, extracts the test model. Then, our implemented software agents run the test model to simulate the user's behavior. These agents use both automatically generated and handwritten scenarios to test the web application. In addition to security, performance, and load tests, the method supports functionality test. The proposed method also indicated the necessity of a new phase in the web application development process.
