“…These are mostly source code metrics that predict maintainability of web applications. Warren et al [22] created a tool to collect a number of metrics to measure web application evolution over an interval of time. Palmer [20] defined and validated a number of usability metrics for web applications.…”

Abstract-Automated web crawlers can be used to explore and exercise portions of a web application under test. However, the possibility to achieve full exploration of a web application through automated crawling is severely limited by the choice of the input values submitted with forms. Depending on the crawler's capabilities, a larger or smaller portion of web application will be automatically explored.In this paper, we introduce web crawlability metrics to quantify properties of application pages and forms that affect crawlability. Moreover, we show that our metrics can be used to identify the boundaries between those parts of the application that can be successfully crawled automatically and those parts that will require manual intervention or other crawlability support. We have validated our crawlability metrics on real web applications, for which low crawlability was indeed associated with the existence of pages never exercised during automated crawling.

This paper reports on results gathered during a case study using a web maintenance tool called Perlbot. The main objective of the study is to observe the history of modifications made on various web documents. Based on selected metrics, we collect data with respect to how such sites are maintained and evolve. The data gathered support our hypothesis that there is a worldwide tendency to accumulate large numbers of stale documents over long periods of time. Moreover, our quantitative results reveal inconsistent web maintenance activities spanning over various international sites.

“…As an important method to ensure the quality of Web applications, the Web application testing attracts more and more attentions by researchers and users, and they have proposed some important research methods and obtained many results in this area [6,7,10,15,16,21,23]. And the main techniques are applying the traditional testing methods into the Web applications, for Web applications belong to the software and have some commonness with the traditional software.…”

Nowadays, Web applications are very prevalent around the world, and it becomes more and more important to ensure their qualities by testing. However, due to the special characters of Web applications, traditional testing methods are not suitable for Web testing in many aspects. So based on the related work by now, this paper presents our research work in such areas as the Web application modeling, the test case generation, the detailed testing methods and techniques, the testing executing process, and the testing measurements. And based on the rules of software engineering, these processes are the necessary parts of the whole testing. Our methods focus on such specialties as numerous users, distributed structures, dynamic and interactive functions of Web applications and the improvements for the testing efficiency.
