Abstract
Traditional testing techniques are not adequate for Web-based applications. Nowadays, Web applications depend more and more on the back-end database to provide much more functionalities. Additionally, database interactions make a great impact on the navigation of Web applications. In this paper, we propose an event-based dependence graph models (EDGMs) to model and extracting database interactions in Web applications. A FSM was used as a tool to model the presentation (.aspx) of Web page. And Control Flow Graph (CFG) and Database Interaction Flow Graph (DIFG) are employed to extracted and model its corresponding logical process (.cs) of each corresponding page. From the EDGMs, a FSM test-tree (FSM-TT) was constructed. Based on FSM-TT, the test sequences were generated. At last, by elaborating the test sequences with the FSMs of Web pages, we got the more detailed test sequences which can be easily instantiated and test executed.
