Abstract
Now days, making use of web based applications
becomes crucial for the success of businesses worldwide.
But as they are open and built on Internet, this kind of
applications is imposing the new challenges to the
developers and researchers such as such as dynamic
behaviors, heterogeneous representations, novel control
flow and data flow mechanisms, etc. In the previous studies,
the agent based approach provided for web application
testing in order to reduce the complexity of such
applications. A four-level data flow test approach can be
employed to perform structure testing on them. In this
approach, data flow analysis will be performed as Function
Level Testing, Function Cluster Level Testing, Object Level
Testing, and Web Application Level Testing, from low
abstract level to high abstract level. But that approach was
limited because only the basic features of such framework
are implemented.
Therefore, in this research thesis we are further
extending that framework with more specific features
implement like specific test agents for each particular type
of Web document or object. Moreover, integrating more
testing approaches, such as navigation testing, object state
testing, statistical testing, etc., is still necessary for a
systematic testing approach for Web applications.
