Driven Web Testing Framework Based Fitnium Keywords Realization

With the development of information technology, the demands of users and markets are growing rapidly making the structures and functions of web-based applications more complex. Moreover, the traditional manual testing solutions failed to handle some special test requirements, i.e. stress testing and load testing. Automation testing can make software test more rapid, reliable and thorough. Therefore, automation testing technique becomes a promising and important solution to meet current testing requirements.In this paper, we first introduced the history of software testing techniques and the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. Then we made a deep research of keyword-driven testing and web testing, and analyzed the general requirements of web testing.Moreover the techniques of two test tools Selenium and FitNesse were thoroughly investigated, and we analyzed their function features in web testing.We presented a solution for functional testing and UI testing of web applications by integrating Selenium and FitNesse. This solution uses keyword-driven testing methods based on FitNium framework. On this basis, we designed and implemented a detailed testing process to achieve a variety of sophisticated tests by simulating users' actions on web pages.Finally, we used a typical web application JForum forum as the AUT (application under test) of FitNium framework, verified the effectiveness of keyword-driven test methods and proved the correctness of the testing process by analysis the test requirements and implementing test process and assessing the result.The solution for functional testing and UI testing of web applications we have presented proved to be feasible by the experiments.
