Abstract
This paper presents a highly automated procedure for testing web applications that require text input from users. Such a text input page usually queries for personal profile data, user accounts, and passwords. The proposed tech-nique explores the pages of a web system. When a page that requires text input is encountered, our testing proce-dure then checks the test data bank for appropriate exam-ple personal profile data to feed into the text input fields of the page. Perturbation to the example profile data can also be injected to test how an application under test can de-fend itself against illegal input data. Experimental results show that our technique can automatically pass through web pages that query registration data and user account identification.
