RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF APPLICATION OF AUTOMATED TESTING IN WEB APPLICATIONS

The article discusses the issues of technology and methodology for automating the process of testing Web applications. Currently, developers and automation professionals are moving to popular developing development environments. In the process of developing and testing software in the team, not only developers and testers work, but also business professionals who define a set of changes when new versions of software products are released. When you update the product, an integral part of the release is the creation of automated testing. Means of providing automation is the use of an object-oriented approach to project implementation, a standard set of tools for providing processes for building and debugging programs, connecting auxiliary libraries for the programming language used (C++, C#, Java, etc.); checking the system versions, storing the automation project and the software product in one location. The main goal of this study is to identify and then analyze the weaknesses and strengths of methods for automating the testing of web applications, which are currently in the stage of rapid development. To carry out the research itself, information work was carried out (articles, reports, automation tools themselves) of the development stages of this topic. As a result, the authors made conclusions about further directions in the development of web application testing, identified the merits of existing solutions and identified areas that are not sufficiently developed.
