Automatic generation of test drivers for model inference of web applications
Abstract
In the "Internet of Services" (IoS) vision of the Internet, applications are developed as services using the web standards. Model-based testing combined with active model inference is one of the methods to test the applications pretty automatically, in particular to look for vulnerabilities. But one part still needs to be written manually, the test driver. It contains an abstraction of the real application and the methods to interact with the system at abstract and concrete level. We propose a generic abstraction of the web applications and an approach to generate the corresponding test driver automatically using a crawler to identify the needed information.
