Abstract

Traditional practices for automated testing of non-Ajax web applications
from the Java Platform rely on full page refresh and generally cannot
handle advanced JavaScript techniques.  The next generation of Web
applications are making advanced use of JavaScript, including Ajax.
Ajax transactions require just as much verification and scrutiny as full
page transactions, so a testing solution is required that allows this.
This presentation surveys the state of the art in automated testing of
Ajax applications.
