QExplore: An Exploration Strategy for Dynamic Web Applications using Guided Search

Summary

QExplore is a dynamic automatic exploration tool for dynamic web applications. It reverse engineers a state-flow model that can be used to automate several web analysis and testing techniques. The tool uses a popular reinforcement learning technique, called Q-learning, to systematically explore a web application. To feed the input fields and explore the states behind the web forms, QExplore uses mocker data generator.

Features

  • QExplore targets the exploration of dynamic web applications.
  • It also uses mocker data generator for feeding the input fields during the exploration.
  • It allows users to define directives to excess parts of the web application restricted by specific user inputs.
  • It allows users to define multiple user inputs for single input field.
  • QExplore automatically reverse engineer's a state-flow graph that can be used for testing activities such as test case generation and execution.
  • QExplore can be run on any type of dynamic web applications
  • QEplore supports Firefox and Chrome.

Limitations

  • Currently, QExplore has no support for performing interactions such as Drag and Drop.
  • QExplore has no GUI currently and is a work in progress.
  • The minimun time limit for QExplore to explore any dynamic application to provided reasonable coverage is 10 minutes.
