Ontology-Based Web Application Testing

Testing Web applications is still a challenging work which can greatly benefit from test automation techniques. In this paper, we focus on using ontologies as a means of test automation. Current works that use ontologies for software testing are discussed. Further a theoretical roadmap is presented, with some examples, on ontology-based web application testing.
