Abstract

Abstract:

Due to low error checking rate of Web application test, a method of test case generation for Web applications based on state transition was proposed. By constructing state transition diagram of pages, event transition table and navigation transition table, the link relationship of Web applications was shown. This approach generated test path from state transition tree of pages got from state transition diagram of pages. Based on equivalence partitioning principles, a coverage criteria was proposed, then a test case set was reported as result combined with information from event transition table and navigation transition table. The result shows that the proposed method can represent link relationship of Web applications effectively, and improve error checking rate of test case.

摘要：

针对Web应用测试方法错误覆盖率低的问题,提出了一种基于状态迁移的Web应用功能测试用例生成方法。该方法通过构造页面状态迁移图、事件迁移表和导航迁移表对Web应用的链接关系进行表示。基于页面状态迁移图生成的页面状态迁移树生成测试路径,根据等价类划分原则,提出了一种测试用例覆盖准则,结合事件迁移表和导航迁移表中的信息记录构造测试用例。典型案例实验结果表明,该方法有效地表示了Web应用中页面间的链接关系,提高了测试用例的错误检测率。
