Una Revisión de los Métodos de Pruebas para Aplicaciones Web

Abstract

The extensive use and acceptance of the Internet in recent decades has caused a great increase in building Web-based applications, which have evolved from simple Web sites with applications consisting of static pages to complex distributed applications with heterogeneous hardware and software. These additional applications are increasingly stringent requirements for reliability, usability, interoperability with existing systems, performance and security. The software testing is a difficult process and even more when it comes to Web-based applications, due to the peculiarities of such applications. Such evidence may take various forms, whether they are designed to test the functional characteristics (tests) or non-functional software (performance testing, load, security, etc.). This paper makes a review of methods for testing web applications, both black boxes testing, white and gray, with greater emphasis on the latter, specifically based on the generation of test cases from the information sessions collected in the user web server.
