“…Additionally, different testing techniques can be chosen by different agents, the agent society is dynamic (agents can enter or exit the system during execution time) while the whole procedure is being coordinated by specialized agents. The proposals of (Kung, 2004;Miao et al, 2007) offer an additional benefit that they are based on a sound formal ground employing the BDI metaphor and the Gaia methodology respectively. The work of (Kung, 2004) extends UML to put forward novel agent-oriented diagrammatic techniques that are anticipated to assist agent modelling.…”

“…The work of (Kung, 2004) extends UML to put forward novel agent-oriented diagrammatic techniques that are anticipated to assist agent modelling. The research of (Miao et al, 2007) exhibits advanced flexibility since agents can change testing roles dynamically. Finally, in all cases besides (Kung, 2004) no particular approach has been bundled to validate the strength of the model's functionality while the issues of test planning optimization and agent society evolution need further exploration.…”

“…However, in both cases there is no actual system to verify the expected benefits of the two mechanisms. With respect to agent frameworks (Yamany et al, 2006;Bai et al, 2006;Kung, 2004;Miao et al, 2007), the common aspiration is to model software testing. The testing process is decomposed into phases during test planning while these plans can be executed asynchronously.…”

“…A number of Web testing techniques for Web applications have been already proposed [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], each of which has different origins and pursues different test goals for dealing with the unique characteristics of Web applications.…”

With the prevalence of Internet, the rapid development of component, middleware and Web services, and the wide application of the Web, the reliability and quality assurance of Web applications have become a very critical problem and a hot research topic. To ensure the security and reliability of Web applications, Web testing is one of the most effective methods. A Web application is divided into a set of functional components, each of which offers a certain kind of Web service. A Component Dependency Diagram (CDD) is employed to represent the structural relationship among the functional components; FSMs are used to represent their behaviors and the composition of FSMs to represent their interactions. It presents two test criteria including complete executing sequence coverage and component complete executing sequence coverage. A detail test process is illustrated according to the proposed test criteria

Modern interactive software, such as computer games, employ complex user interfaces. Although these user interfaces make the games attractive and powerful, unfortunately they also make them extremely difficult to test. Not only do we have to deal with their functional complexity, but also the fine grained interactivity of their user interface blows up their interaction space, so that traditional automated testing techniques have trouble handling it. An agent-based testing approach offers an alternative solution: agents' goal driven planning, adaptivity, and reasoning ability can provide an extra edge towards effective navigation in complex interaction space. This paper presents aplib, a Java library for programming intelligent test agents, featuring novel tactical programming as an abstract way to exert control over agents' underlying reasoning-based behavior. This type of control is suitable for programming testing tasks. Aplib is implemented in such a way to provide the fluency of a Domain Specific Language (DSL). Its embedded DSL approach also means that aplib programmers will get all the advantages that Java programmers get: rich language features and a whole array of development tools.Keywords: automated game testing • AI for automated testing • intelligent agents for testing • agents tactical programming • intelligent agent programming
