“…The web world is one of the fundamental aspects and has been perceived as an influential origin for conveying programming services on the web (Dogan et al 2014) [2]. Web applications are very useful almost for everyone likewise education or schooling, business, government, public sector, other industries and it matters in our daily social life (Xiaolin et al 2014) [3]. Rapid expansion draws the greatest possible level of advantages with the least effort computerized testing for broadening the software quality is automatic + action (automation) testing.…”

Website applications surpass system-based applications because they are nature friendly and installation free. Additionally, model-based testing is more beneficial under website applications as it saves time and money. Moreover, it detects fault lines at a higher speed. With the commencement of web application testing and model-based testing, various tools and models have been introduced in the domain of web application. In this milieu, systematical identification got significant importance to analyze MBT. To analyze the MBT, articles published between the years 2000 to 2022 are collected. From the total of 6115 papers are analyzed and 43 papers are selected. The presented SLR of MBT for the web application presents a comprehensive review of all the models and tools proposed in the literature. Furthermore, the taxonomy is defined about the models and steps followed in MBT. Lastly, the challenges and gaps are addressed. Hence, it is also helpful for researchers to avert the obstacles in the field of MBT for website applications.

“…FSM is commonly used to model system behaviours in MBT and is utilized in this research. Javed, Minhas [18] conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) study of MBT for web app and they concluded that majority of the identified MBT approaches are based on FSM and several other behavioural models like activity diagram, state diagram and extended FSM (EFSM). Furthermore, Sabbaghi and Keyvanpour [19] conducted a study to review the most used state-based models in MBT.…”

Model-based test case prioritization using selective and even-spread count-based methods with scrutinized ordering criterion

et al. 2020

Regression testing is crucial in ensuring that modifications made did not introduce any adverse effect on the software being modified. However, regression testing suffers from execution cost and time consumption problems. Test case prioritization (TCP) is one of the techniques used to overcome these issues by reordering test cases based on their priorities. Model-based TCP (MB-TCP) is an approach in TCP where the software models are manipulated to perform prioritization. The issue with MB-TCP is that most of the existing approaches do not provide satisfactory faults detection capability. Besides, their granularity of test selection criteria is not very good and this can affect prioritization effectiveness. This study proposes an MB-TCP approach that can improve the faults detection performance of regression testing. It combines the implementation of two existing approaches from the literature while incorporating an additional ordering criterion to boost prioritization efficacy. A detailed empirical study is conducted with the aim to evaluate and compare the performance of the proposed approach with the selected existing approaches from the literature using the average of the percentage of faults detected (APFD) metric. Three web applications were used as the objects of study to obtain the required test suites that contained the tests to be prioritized. From the result obtained, the proposed approach yields the highest APFD values over other existing approaches which are 91%, 86% and 91% respectively for the three web applications. These higher APFD values signify that the proposed approach is very effective in revealing faults early during testing. They also show that the proposed approach can improve the faults detection performance of regression testing.
