Theory of Testing Web Applications Addressed
We've been saying for years that the problems of web applications are worthy of greater attention than they have been given in the past, and it seems as if events are proving this out. It seems so obvious, that web browser are ubiquitous and thus make an ideal GUI for applications, with the added advantage that the "browser paradigm" -- a semi-technical way of saying "the way browsers work" -- is well known and accepted. It's about time that web applications -- and the validation and verification problems that they present, very non-trivial ones, by the way -- got a little respect! So, sure enough, here comes along a new Workshop on Testing, Analysis and Verification of Web Services and Applications TAV-WEB 2006, close on the heels for web applications what the long-running series of ISSTA conferences has focused on for nearly two decades. (The TAV-WEB workshop is a "sub-conference" of ISSTA.) The topics proposed are, for the most part, a simple transliteration of the same kinds of technology approaches that have formed the mainstay of software test and validation theory for years. But the re-formulation of these notions in the context of "the web" is exciting, and good news for everyone.
