摘要：Web forms can be one of the most common sources of problems in web applications. This paper presents a state- based approach for testing web forms, in which a finite state machine model is proposed to represent the transitions between web forms within a web application. Using the proposed model, a page transition table is constructed, then, based on this table, a page transition tree is constructed. Using this tree, a set of test cases (scenarios) is generated. Executing these scenarios assists the tester in detecting several web forms errors, such as empty form fields, wrong input data, incorrect input data format, and database access. Also, the paper presents a description of the automated web form testing system that implements the proposed state-based web form testing approach. Finally, the paper presents a case study that demonstrates the working of the developed system and its error exposing ability.
