1. WebVizOr: A Fault Detection Visualization Tool for Web Applications Goal: Illustrate and evaluate the uses of WebVizOr, a new tool to aid web application testing  Test web applications for correctness  Problem: Difficult to analyze results of large test suites  Our Contribution:  Visualization tool that enables navigation of test suite results  Integration of various test oracles that identify possible faults in web applications Uses in Industry and Research General Web Application Testing Process Motivation View Detailed Test Case Info Visualize Oracle Comparator Results Highlighted differences in filtered responses allow the user to quickly monitor HTML tag change Page content change Figure 1: A screen snapshot of WebVizOr presenting the results of executing the same test suite on two versions of a web application.
