A Keyword Driven Hybrid Model for Web Application Testing

Abstract

Web development is one of the fast-growing techniques in the IT field. To ensure error and bug-free web products, they should be tested thoroughly. If both Manual and Automated Testing Techniques (MATT) are used concurrently, this goal can be accomplished. When MATT is considered individually, there are positive and negative factors. In this paper, a keyword-driven technique is proposed which helps to bring MATT together to solve the problem of "How to ensure the high quality of modern web projects with highly redundant tasks at lower cost and less amount time?" According to the current literature, manual testing is essential to ensure error and bug-free web products, while automated testing fulfills the time target of the quality assurance process. The main objective of this research is to propose a keyword-driven web testing method to ensure error and bugs free web products. The proposed method was tested with modern websites. Results showed that the proposed method considerably minimizes the average time while identifying the errors of test scripts. The proposed method should work for every modern web development technique; it also should be a sustainable solution to be adapted to future changes in the web development industry.
