Finite State Machine based Testing of Web Applications

Web testing is an effective technique to ensure the quality of Web applications. With the development and implementation of web applications in variety of industries, testing web system becomes more and more important and difficult. This literature review paper addresses the use of practical usage model based on finite state machine. According to the FSM usage model, it details the process of generating test cases. Finite state machine are the best method for developing computational model for hardware and software. By using the concept of finite State modeling, a computational model of web application can be built. In this model, web pages can be considered as states of finite state model and links can be considered as state transitions with input condition provided at each state. After building computational model test cases can be generated by using various techniques [2].
