A Selenium based approach to automatic test script generation for refactoring JavaScript code

During the development process of Web application, two essential phases are software testing and code refactoring. However, automatic testing script plays an important role in test automation. It has been a hot research topic in Web application. In order to refactor the JavaScript code of Web application more conveniently, an approach to automatic script generation from the defined test case is introduced in this paper. First, it describes the test case using customized XML format. Then, since Selenium platform supports multi-browsers testing, a method to transform XML description into test scripts based on Selenium framework is proposed as the emphasis.
