Abstract

In this paper, we present hybrid testing, a method that combines replay-testing (static testing) with automata learning techniques that generate models of black box systems (dynamic testing). This combination helps bridging the gap towards model based testing also for legacy systems. Webtest is an implementation of hybrid testing that builds on top of preexisting technology such as the LearnLib, a framework for automata learning, and the jABC, a framework for modeldriven and service-oriented design, that we use here for modelling, executing, and managing test suites for and models of the web applications under analysis. In particular we intend to move towards Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), that include e.g. advanced client side capabilities and access to heavy resources (e.g. database access) over the Web.
