• Automated testing is important for validating the behavior of programs with complex user interfaces, such as web applications. In the enterprise context, web applications are popular client-server programs that provide rendered web pages as a user front-end, and the business logic is typically implemented on the server-side. In this paper, we present an approach to automatically generate test cases for component-based user interfaces for web applications built on the Java EE platform. We generate a sequence of user actions to navigate through the web application. For each supported user action, we gather constraints from the view template describing the web page (e.g. a button must be enabled in order to be clicked by a user), as well as constraints that are introduced while executing a server-side component. We have implemented our approach in a tool to determine its practical use in an experiment.
