Dynamic web applications are becoming widespread nearly in every area. ASP.NET is one of the popular development technologies in this domain. The errors in these web applications can reduce the credibility of the site and cause possible loss of a number of clients. Therefore, testing these applications becomes significant. We present an automated tool to test ASP.NET web applications against execution errors and HTML errors that cause displaying inaccurate and incomplete information. Our tool, called Mamoste, adapts concolic testing technique which interleaves concrete and symbolic execution to generate test inputs dynamically. Mamoste also considers page events as inputs which cannot be handled with concolic testing. We have performed experiments on a subset of a heavily used ASP.NET application of a government office. We have found 366 HTML errors and a faulty component which is used almost every page in this application. In addition, Mamoste discovered that a common user control is misused in several dynamically generated pages.

Finding malformed HTML outputs and unhandled execution errors of asp.net applications Özkınacı, Mehmet Erdal; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2011) As dynamic web applications are becoming widespread nearly in every area, ASP.NET is one of the popular development languages in this domain. The errors in these web applications can reduce the credibility of the site and cause possible loss of a number of clients. Therefore, testing these applications becomes significant. We present an automated tool to test ASP.NET web applications against execution errors and HTML errors that cause displaying inaccurate and incomplete information. Our tool, called Mamost...
An Approach for automated verification of web applications using model checking and replaying the scenarios of counterexamples Paçin, Yudum; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2015) The increase in the use of web applications in various domains, raised the importance of the methodologies for verification of web applications. We propose a framework for the verification of web applications with respect to access control, link consistency and reachability properties using model checking. In this approach, users define the properties by explanatory guidance of user interface. The execution traces that lead to a property violation is translated to a script that automates the replaying of th...
Improved Genetic Algorithm based Approach for QoS Aware Web Service Composition Yilmaz, A. Erdinc; Karagöz, Pınar (2014-07-02) Use of web services is one of the most rapidly developing technologies. Since web services are defined by XML-based standards to overcome platform dependency, they are very eligible to integrate with each other in order to establish new services. This composition enables us to reuse existing services, which results in less cost and time consumption. One of the recent problems with web service composition is to maximize the overall Quality of Service (QoS) of the composed service. Most common elements of QoS...
Automated test code generation and execution system for Web İşler, Süleyman Fatih; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2015) With the development of Web 2.0, the trend in application development has moved from desktop applications towards to web applications. Although there are different ways of testing web applications such as record/replay systems and manual testing, the common practice of web testing is accomplished by manually implementing test script codes from test cases written in software test documents and then run them on test automation tools. Implementation of test script codes is time-consuming process and also requi...
Query interface and query language for domain specific web service discovery system Özdil, Hilal; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2011) As the number of the published web services increase, discovery of the web services with the desired functionality and quality is becoming a challenging process. Selecting the appropriate web services among the ones that o er the same functionality is also a challenging task. The web service repositories like UDDI (Universal Description Discovery and Integration) support only the syntactic searchs. Quality of service parameters for the published web services can not be queried over these repositories. We ha...
