Abstract

This paper extends data flow testing techniques to Web applications, and presents a proposed approach to data flow testing of ASP.NET Web applications. It discusses the data flow analysis of ASP.NET Web applications, which have different structure than traditional programs. The proposed approach involves the construction of a Web application data flow model to support data flow analysis of ASP.NET Web applications. In this approach, testing is performed in four levels, Function, Interprocdural, Page, and Inter-Page levels. In each level, the definition-use (def-use) chains of the variables of interest are computed, then test data can be generated to cover these def-use chains, in order to fulfill the all-uses criterion. The application of the proposed approach is illustrated through a case study.
