A New Methodology for Web Testing

摘要

As Web sites becoming a fundamental component of businesses, quality of service will be one of the top management concerns. Users, normally, does not care about site failures, traffic jams, network bandwidth [1], or other indicators of system failures. To an online customer, quality of service means fast, predictable response service, level of a Web site noted in a real time. User measures the quality by response time, availability, reliability, predictability, and cost. Poor quality implies that the customer will no longer visit the site and hence the organization may loose business. The issues that affects the quality are, broken pages and faulty images, CGI-bin error messages, complex colour combinations, no back link, multiple and frequent links, etc. So we try to build a good program that can scan web site for broken links, broken images, broken pages and other common web site faults. Because web site cannot test as a whole in one attempt we rely in our implementation to decompose the behavior of the web site into testable components then mapping these components onto testable objects. Then we prove by using Jmeter performance testing tool that broken components on a web site has a bad effect in its performance.
