Abstract The testing of Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) web applications poses novel challenges for testers because Ajax constructs dynamic web applications by using Asynchronous communication and run time Document Object Model (DOM) manipulation. Ajax involves extreme dynamism, which induces novel kind of issues like state explosion, triggering state changes and unreachable states etc. that require more demanding web-testing methods. Model based testing is amongst the effective approaches to detect faults in web applications. However, the state model generated for an Ajax application can be enormous and may be hit by state explosion problem for large… More >

Abstract A large amount of data is present on the web which can be used for useful purposes like a product recommendation, price comparison and demand forecasting for a particular product. Websites are designed for human understanding and not for machines. Therefore, to make data machine-readable, it requires techniques to grab data from web pages. Researchers have addressed the problem using two approaches, i.e., knowledge engineering and machine learning. State of the art knowledge engineering approaches use the structure of documents, visual cues, clustering of attributes of data records and text processing techniques to identify data… More >
