Automação de testes em aplicações web utilizando uma abordagem ad-hoc.

Abstract

In web applications, often not i meand resources are invested in performing automatic tests, and, commonly, only manual tests are performed by the developers themselves. Such problems can introduce application failures, which can take a long time to detect, resulting in rework, and harming the user experience when the failures reach the production environment. To contribute to a faster detection of these failures, a tool was developed that can generate test code that simulates a user going through the us age flows, simply and objectively, filling out and submitting data. Execution is done automatically by an automated testing framework. The tool was evaluated through the development of a web application for registration, in which the tests generated had their interface cover age checked, and their usefulness in indicating failures was evaluated, as well as their ability to be used as regression tests.
