Considering Web Frameset and Browser Interactions in Modeling and Testing of Web Applications

Web frameset is used to organize multiple frames and nested framesets to make the layout of some Web pages more identical and bring the development of Web applications easier, which was wildly used in today ´s Web applications. Web applications can only be accessed through dedicated client systems called Web browsers. The behaviors of Web frameset and Web browser interactions influence the functionalities and navigation of Web applications. In this paper, special care on Web frameset and Web browser interactions is paid and an approach to modeling the Web application ´s navigation and test generation with Web frameset and browser interactions is proposed. The extended FSM is employed to formalize the navigation models and a FSM-TT (FSM Test-Tree) is constructed. At last, test generation is given out from FSM-TT which satisfies the corresponding coverage criteria.
