Effective Test Case Generation for Various Types of Web-based Software

As information and business communication via Internet are growing up, web-based software is wide spread and more important on the viewpoint of software qualify than stand-alone. Research on verification of web content links and web-based Program was tried, but has short on covering various types of web based software and making experiments to be applied in real testing practice. This paper suggests a modeling technique to be applied to dynamic and various types of web-based software. First, it identifies each elements consisting of web-based software and then construct a model of Object Control Flow Graph and Object Relationship Diagram. We can generate test cases covering all test paths of ORD or invoking key points test route. Suggested modeling method and test case selection technique are verified by applying five types of web-based software and compared with other web-based test techniques.
