Abstract

With conventional regression test tools for Web applications, it is difficult to specify the values to be verified that are repeated output inside loop statements. We need to select each of these values displayed in Web pages with the mouse. This paper presents a method that automates regression testing of Web applications on the server side. This method makes it easy to specify values to be verified and enables us to specify them when we develop Web applications. We can directly check the verification results on the Web pages that are shown in the Web browser. If we find a fault, we can even directly modify a part of the server program in the Web browser that corresponds to the currently displayed Web page.
