Abstract

While providing better performance, transparency and expressiveness, the main features of the web technologies such as web caching, session and cookies, dynamically generated web pages etc. also make the web applications more complex and error-prone. In this regard, formal verification and specification-based testing play an important role in assessing the correct navigations of the web applications. As the basis for the static analysis or test case generations, the formal models of the web applications should contain information of the navigational behavior comprising the web technologies we are interested in. Here we provide the automated generation of such a model in terms of Extended Finite State Machines from a set of descriptions of the functionality of each individual element of the web applications. The generated model can be used for better quality assurance for web application in formal verification and specification-based testing. We take into account the cookies and dynamic link techniques used in the dynamically generated web pages, as they may have impact on the correct web page navigations.
