Abstract
We aim to increase quality and efficiency of the testing for page generator programs, which are Web application view programs following MVC architecture. This paper proposes three kinds of test coverage, a generation method of test sequences to satisfy the coverage for each viewpoint and an automatic test results verification method. We define Page Model which represents observable behavior of pages and page transitions for Web application. We describe each pages in Page Model as page specification. We develop a testing support tool based on Page Model. Our tool generates test sequences which satisfy the coverage, test verification scripts and input data items list. After filling in the generated input data items list with test data, we can execute test sequences automatically with Canoo WebTest. The preliminary results for a medium scale Web application show that our method is helpful for test of page generator.
