Abstract

The testing and fault diagnosis for Web application compatibility are concerned with multiple kinds of software and hardware facilities, enormous numbers of equipments’ trademarks and types, and the combination of all the situations. How to test and find faults efficiently and quickly is a difficult and important task to complete. Combined with the characters of the Web application compatibility testing and the combinatorial method, we obtained acceptable number of test cases for the compatibility testing. After executing the test cases, we analyzed the results so as to find the fault factors by the properties of combinatorial method. Then we retested with some complementary test cases based on the elementary analytic results, and made further analysis and validation with the retesting results. Thus we obtained the factors that cause the errors in a very small range, and provided a very efficient and valuable guidance for the debugging and testing of Web application compatibility.
