Model Driven Approach for Automatic Script Generation in Stress Testing of Web Applications
Fatima Waheed, Farooque Azam, Muhammad Waseem Anwar, Yawar Rasheed · 2020
Mostly, software systems operate satisfactory under normal operating condition. However, if abnormal conditions are encountered i.e in the event of extraordinary load conditions, the response of the software systems may also become abnormal. Due to this reason, Stress Testing is considered an important part of testing that is used to determine the behaviour of software in extraordinary load conditions. Most of the research work that has been done in the domain of stress testing focuses on development of systems using traditional approaches of programming/coding. In this manuscript, we have anticipated an innovative approach for automatic script generation in stress testing of web applications. The proposed approach includes a meta model that may be extended for automation and model based development of such a system/ tool that may generate test scripts for stress testing of web applications using concepts of IFML.
