Cross-View of Testing Techniques Toward Improving Web-Based Application Testing
Web Applications (WAs) failures may lead to collapse of the institutions, therefore the importance of good quality WAs is increasing over the time. Testing is one of the best quality metrics that decide whether WAs are reliable or not. WAs testing approaches suffer from the lack of proper coverage of WAs functional requirements testing. On the other hand some approaches produce test cases that already cover WAs testing but they also produce a great number of irrelevant test cases. This research analyzed the main testing approaches for WAs and GUI applications. Also we have an overview of Test-Driven Development and its effects on the current development. The specification of good testing approach that satisfies the proper testing is then presented.
