Abstract
Quality assurance of Web applications is a challenge, due to the large number and variance of involved components. In particular, rich Web 2.0 applications based on JavaScript pose new challenges for testing, as a simple crawling through links covers only a small part of the functionality. The WebMate approach automatically explores and navigates through arbitrary Web 2.0 applications. WebMate addresses challenges such as interactive elements, state abstraction, and non-determinism in large applications; we demonstrate its usage for regular application testing as well as for cross-browser testing.
