About the Data
Overview of Data
This data is captured by tool ‘Artemis’, which is a test generation tool for javascript based web applications. The data contained here has benchmarks and html validity errors found out by Artemis tool, when ran against live applications. This data can be used to analyse the html coding errors committed by the programmers and see how we can prevent these errors.
Paper Abstract
Current practice in testing JavaScript web applications requires manual construction of test cases, which is difficult and tedious. We present a framework for feedback-directed automated test generation for JavaScript in which execution is monitored to collect information that directs the test generator towards inputs that yield increased coverage. We implemented several instantiations of the framework, corresponding to variations on feedback-directed random testing, in a tool called Artemis. Experiments on a suite of JavaScript applications demonstrate that a simple instantiation of the framework that uses event handler registrations as feedback information produces surprisingly good coverage if enough tests are generated. By also using coverage information and read-write sets as feedback information, a slightly better level of coverage can be achieved, and sometimes with many fewer tests. The generated tests can be used for detecting HTML validity problems and other programming errors.
