Regression testing provides important pass or fail signals that developers use to make
decisions after code changes. However, flaky tests, which pass or fail even when the code …

Context When an application evolves, some of the developed test cases break. Discarding
broken test cases causes a significant waste of effort and leads to test suites that are less …

Context: Automated testing is ubiquitous in modern software development and used to verify
requirement conformance on all levels of system abstraction, including the system's …

Web tests are prone to break frequently as the application under test evolves, causing much
maintenance effort in practice. To detect the root causes of a test breakage, developers …

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 …

The importance of test automation in web engineering comes from the widespread use of
web applications and the associated demand for code quality. Test automation is …

Software engineers use record/replay tools to capture use case scenarios that can serve as
regression tests for web applications. Such tests, however, can be brittle in the face of code …

Software engineers often use record/replay tools to enable the automated testing of web
applications. Tests created in this manner can then be used to regression test new versions …

The main reason for the fragility of web test cases is the inability of web element locators to
work correctly when the web page DOM evolves. Web elements locators are used in web …

With increasing amounts of data available on the web and a diverse range of users
interested in programmatically accessing that data, web automation must become easier …
