Applying Agent into Web Testing and Evolution

Automatic Web testing and evolution is an effective method to ensure the quality of Web applications. In this paper, we apply Agent into this area, i.e. firstly, we explain the necessity and feasibility, and also give the general description of our method; then, we apply Agent into the Web performance testing, Web regression testing and Web usability evolution; conclusion remarks are given at last.
