A NOVEL FRAMEWORK FOR VALIDATING DYNAMIC WEB APPLICATIONS WITH MULTI LANGUAGE INTEGRATION ACROSS DIFFERENT PLATFORMS

摘要

Most of the dynamic web applications generates HTML web documents that are deemed invalid as they do not adhere to the HTML standards defined under the World Wide Consortium (W3C). Though state-of-the-art web browsers are capable of rendering malformed HTML documents by correcting these errors discretely, most of the time such incidents poses compatibility issues which causes performance degradation for some applications. Various validation tools have been developed and are widely available across the Internet to address the mentioned issue, however, these tools only worked well for static web applications since it doesn't address the aggressive nature of dynamic web applications. Furthermore, validation tools targeting dynamic web applications available currently employ a static technique which is impossible in examining every single execution route possible. To resolve such issue, we have presented a novel framework for validating dynamic web applications through a set of heuristic rules which takes into consideration the syntax of several well-known server side languages such as PHP, Java EE and ASP.NET. As an extension to that paper, we now introduces a path finding and cross platform tools to validate HTML tags based on the server side language flow of execution.
