Abstract

Customer (or acceptance) tests enable the customer to drive the overall design of a required system. We introduce an approach to developing customer tests for web-based applications. The customer specifies such tests through sample web pages. A test may consist of a traversal through a sequence of HTML pages in the required system. This is specified as a trace, defined by following prescribed links or form-submit buttons on each of the pages of the sequence. Isis generates customer tests in Java to verify that each trace occurs in a target system.
