A Mobile Agent Based General Model for Web Testing

In this paper, we first introduce the concepts of mobile agent technology, and then look at some related research on mobile agent technology. Mobile agent is a promising technology to face the problems raised by the increasing complexity and size of today’s networks and web testing. In particular, in the area of web testing, mobile agent can lead to a fully distributed paradigm to overcome the limits of traditional web testing methods. Next we study the issues about web testing include load testing, stress testing, security testing, reliability testing. In addition, we link these four factors to today’s websites, and study how we can examine the quality functionalities of websites. Finally, we combine the verdicts from different sections of this paper and propose models that utilize mobile agent technology for performing different aspects of web testing.
