Test smells are defined as sub-optimal design choices developers make when
implementing test cases. Hence, similar to code smells, the research community has …

Tests that fail inconsistently, without changes to the code under test, are described as flaky.
Flaky tests do not give a clear indication of the presence of software bugs and thus limit the …

Web testing has long been recognized as a notoriously difficult task. Even nowadays, web
testing still mainly relies on manual efforts in many cases while automated web testing is still …

Context: A large part of the software produced by many companies and organizations today
are web applications. Testing web applications is vital to ensure and maintain the quality of …

A flaky test is a test case whose outcome changes without modification to the code of the test
case or the program under test. These tests disrupt continuous integration, cause a loss of …

Existing web test generators derive test paths from a navigational model of the web
application, completed with either manually or randomly generated input values. However …

Developers typically rely on regression testing techniques to ensure that their changes do
not break existing functionality. Unfortunately, these techniques suffer from flaky tests, which …

Modern web applications are complex and used for tasks of primary importance, so their
quality must be guaranteed at the highest levels. For this reason, testing techniques (eg, end …

Flaky tests are test cases that can pass or fail without code changes. They often waste the
time of software developers and obstruct the use of continuous integration. Previous work …

Automated web testing techniques infer models from a given web app, which are used for
test generation. From a testing viewpoint, such an inferred model should contain the minimal …
