Abstract

Presently there is a problem with testing of web applications. Fault tolerant is the main aspect for the people with research-orientation. They are searching for better techniques by testing the fault tolerant applications. Previously Different fault localization algorithms such as Ochiai were implemented for automated test strategies. Auto test generation strategy, is a boon to validate different quality applications in time. However, their working scenario was restricted to stand-alone applications only. Later, Auto test generation strategy is combined with source mapping and using an extended domain for conditional and function-call statements to generate automated test suits. Recently an enhanced Ochiai i.e., fault localization algorithms was proposed which has the ability to handle web applications as well, but Ochiai driven oracles offer rigid support by offering static analysis services to only PHP applications. We propose a new approach to extend the Ochiai algorithm with Metamorphic testing strategies to develop an integrated framework that can offer support beyond PHP and such as Java/HTML/JavaScript. Metamorphic testing observes that even if the executions do not result in failures, they still bear useful data. Exploitation higher approaches, we tend to develop unique test-generation strategies that are geared towards manufacturing test suites which have supreme or maximal fault-localization effectiveness in many internet technologies and a sensible implementation validates our claim.
