Validation of Internet Application: Study, Analysis and Evaluation

Today, testing applications for Internet (web sites and other applications) is being verified using proprietary test solutions. The Internet Security became a very important and complex field of researches in our present time, especially if we apply this to the discussion of Internet protocols as basic interfaces for exchanging sensitive data over the Internet and finding appropriate and trustworthy algorithms for their validation. Test Competence Centre at Ericsson AB has expertise on testing telecom applications using TTCN-2 and TTCN-3 notations. These notations have lot of potential and are being used for testing in various areas. So far, not much work has been done on using TTCN notations for testing Internet application. This thesis was a step through which the capabilities/possibilities of the TTCN notation (in Web testing) could be determined. This paper presents investigation results of the 3 different test Technologies / tools (TTCN-2, TTCN-3 and a proprietary free software, PureTest) to see which one is the best for testing Internet Applications and what are the drawbacks/benefits each technology has.
