A method of security testing a web application is presented. The method identifies a web application to be tested, determines potential security vulnerabilities of the web application, generates one or more security tests for testing the potential vulnerabilities, and executes the security test on the web application. The results of the security testing are then used to make the web application less vulnerable to security attacks.

Automated security threat testing of web pages

An enterprise test system for synthesizing complex objects to exercise an application under test.

Enterprise test system having run time test object generation

A system for testing middleware of applications in the N-tiered model. The test system contains test code generators, test engines to execute multiple copies of the test code and a data analyzer to analyze and present the results to a human user. The system is able to automatically generate test code to exercise components of the middleware using information about these components that would otherwise be available to the application under test. Multiple copies of the test code are executed in a synchronized fashion. Execution times of multiple events are recorded and then presented in one of several formats. With the system, an application developer can identify components that represent performance bottlenecks or can gather information on deployment properties of individual components that can be used to enhance the performance of the application under test.

Test code generator, engine and analyzer for testing middleware applications

A system for remotely testing middleware of applications in the N-tiered model across a network. The test system contains test code generators, test engines to execute multiple copies of the test code and a data analyzer to analyze and present the results to a human user. The system is able to automatically generate test code to exercise remotely located components of the middleware using information about these components that would otherwise be available to the application under test. Multiple copies of the test code are executed in a synchronized fashion. Execution times of multiple events are recorded and then presented in one of several formats. By use of the system, an application developer can receive test results about components that represent performance bottlenecks or can be made aware of information on deployment properties of individual components that can be used to enhance the performance of the application under test.

Method and system for web based software object testing

Method and system for software object testing

An enterprise test system includes a plurality of probes inserted at various locations in the enterprise system for recording data from system components during teach mode. During playback mode, the recorded data is used to exercise the system as probes collect actual data for comparison to expected data. In one embodiment, data from actual user transactions is recorded by the probes. The recorded data can be expanded to load test a component using recorded transaction data. In one embodiment, the recorded data can be used to load test a component under test without compiling test code.

Enterprise test system having program flow recording and playback

A system that provides easy testing of software objects and reduces the burden on a program developer for maintaining a test system is presented. The system accepts as an input objects and automatically creates test drivers for these objects. The test objects are provided to a test bed comprising an application server where the objects are tested by application of the test drivers. In a preferred embodiment, the test bed comprises a collection of application servers. An application service provider provides the system test driver and the test bed. Access to the test system is provided by passing a representing of the object under test to the application service provided through a network interface. The application service provider provides test services on a fee for service basis.

Method of providing software testing services

The present invention to provide correctly ordered test code in order to effectively test software designs. There are software diagramming tools on the market today that capture software designs in a standard meta-language (UML). This software provides sequence diagrams that relate to the software component being analyzed. The UML sequence diagrams expose enough semantic content to allow the generation of test code correctly ordered. Since all of the objects are modeled consistently, the data requirements of the software component can also be determined. As a result, the generated test code is correctly ordered, thereby providing a more accurate, useful and real-world testing environment of the software component.
