Paper Abstract:
|
With attention to increasing spread of web applications and the use of such softwares in different fields, their testing and quality assurance is crucial. Because of evolutionary feature and the rapid updating rate of the web applications, regression testing is considered one of the frequently used test contexts. Applying user sessions data as test cases can reduce the cost of regression testing process. Diversity of the software platforms and geographic areas as well as time restrictions may be effective in received web server responses. Therefore, replaying of user sessions in similar software platforms and geographic areas which were previously occurred as well as at the same times presents more confidence and assurance when we compare the new obtained results to previous results. So, in this paper we provide a multi agent software environment in order to support automatic replay of user sessions. In this environment different agents by distributing on the various platforms and geographic locations can perform replay of user sessions. |
