Automated Regression Test Case Generation for Web Application: A Survey

Testing is one of the most important phases in the development of any product or software. Various types of software testing exist that have to be done to meet the need of the software. Regression testing is one of the crucial phases of testing where testing of a program is done for the original test build along with the modifications. In this article, various studies proposed by the authors have been analysed focusing on test cases generation and their approach toward web application. A detailed study was conducted on Regression Test Case Generation and its approaches toward web application. From our detailed study, we have found that very few approaches and methodologies have been found that provide the real tool for test case generation. There is a need of an automated regression testing tool to generate the regression test cases directly based on user requirements. These test cases have to be generated and implemented by the tool so that the reduction in the overall effort and cost can be achieved. From our study, we have also found that regression testing for web applications was not investigated much, but in today's scenario web applications are an integral part of our daily life and so that needs to be tested for regression testing.
