" Showtek - FTS UNIVERSITAT¨ KOBLENZ-LANDAU Abstract Fachbereich 4: Informatik Institut f¨urSoftwaretechnik Master of Science A feature model for web testing tools by Jan Stefan Ruther¨ Web application testing is an active research area. Garousi et al. did a systematic map- ping study and classified 79 papers published between 2000-2011 [1]. However, there seems to be a lack of information exchange between the scientific community and tool developers. This thesis systematically analyzes the field of functional, system level web application testing tools. 194 candidate tools were collected in the tool search and screened, with 23 tools being selected as foundation of this thesis. These 23 tools were systematically used to generate a feature model of the domain. The methodology to support this is an additional contribution of this thesis. It processes end user docu- mentation of tools belonging to an examined domain and creates a feature model. The feature model gives an overview over the existing features, their alternatives and their distribution. It can be used to identify trends and problems, extraordinary features, help decision making of tool purchase or guide scientists how to focus research. In dieser Arbeit wurde erstmalig das Gebiet der funktionalen, system-level Web Testing Tools analysiert. Aus 194 Toolkandidaten wurden 23 Tools zur Analyse ausgew¨ahlt. Die entwickelte Methodik verwendet die Benutzerhandb¨ucher der Tools, um ein Fea- turemodel zu erzeugen, dass die Features aller Tools abbildet. Insgesamt wurden 313 Features identifiziert, klassifiziert und beschrieben. Die Features wurden in 10 Kate- gorien unterteilt und werden mit 16 Featurediagrammen dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse k¨onnentechnologische Entscheidungsprozesse unterst¨utzen,indem ein Uberblick¨ einerseits ¨uber die Tools auf dem Markt und andererseits ¨uber die neusten En- twicklungen im Bereich des funktionalen, system-level Web Testing bereitgestellt wird.

In ........ date ............ signature of the author i Title: Web Data Extraction Author: Tom´aˇsNovella Department: Department of Software Engineering Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Irena Holubov´a,Ph.D., department Abstract: Creation of web wrappers (i.e programs that extract data from the web) is a subject of study in the field of web data extraction. Designing a domain- specific language for a web wrapper is a challenging task, because it introduces trade-offs between expressiveness of a wrapper’s language and safety. In addition, little attention has been paid to execution of a wrapper in restricted environment. In this thesis, we present a new wrapping language – Serrano – that has three goals in mind. (1) Ability to run in restricted environment, such as a browser extension, (2) extensibility, to balance the tradeoffs between expressiveness of a command set and safety, and (3) processing capabilities, to eliminate the need for additional programs to clean the extracted data.

This paper explains on development of Hematology Information System (HIS) in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). HIS is the web application, which is the enhancement of the standalone application system that used previously. The previous system lack of the implementation of security framework and triple ‘A’ elements which are authentication, authorization and accounting. Therefore, the objective of this project is to ensure the security features are implemented and the information safely kept in the server. We are using agile methodology to develop the HIS which the involvement from the user at the beginning until end of the project. The user involvement at the beginning user requirement until implemented. As stated above, HIS is web application that used JSP technology. It can only be access within the HUSM only by using the local Internet Protocol (IP). HIS ease medical doctor and nurse to manage the Leukemia patients. For the security purpose HIS provided password to login, three different user access levels and activity log that recorded from each user that entered the system Key words: Hematology information system, security feature, agile methodology.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by OSN service providers for retrieving data impose several unavoidable restrictions which make it difficult to get a desirable dataset. In this paper, we present an iMacros technology-based data crawler called IMcrawler, capable of collecting every piece of information which is accessible through a browser from the Facebook website within the legal framework which permits access to publicly shared user content on OSNs. The proposed crawler addresses most of the challenges allied with web data extraction approaches and most of the APIs provided by OSN service providers. Two broad sections have been extracted from Facebook user profiles, namely, Personal Information and Wall Activities. The present work is the first attempt towards providing the detailed description of crawler design for the Facebook website. Keywords: Online Social Networks, Information Retrieval, Data Extraction, Behavioral Analysis, Privacy and Security.

  • Applets, Servlets and JSP
    Java Programming : applets, servlets and JSP. SR03 Dritan Nace A summary of Java Java is a language developed by Sun, which is designed to be object oriented and Simple, robust and secure, independent of hardware architectures and Multitasking. Object oriented and simple : Simpler than C++, transparent memory managment… Robust et secure : Data typing is extremely strict. For applets, it is in principle impossible to access the resources of the host machine. Independant of hardware architectures : The compiler generates a universal code : the « byte-code ». An interpreter which is specific to the host machine, « virtual machine », executes the programs. Multitasking : Java seemingly allows execution of several processes. In reality, a time slot is given to each process on the processor (Multithreaded). J2SE versus J2EE J2SE (standard edition) contains the basic usable components from both the client and server side, – GUI, AWT/Swing for applications (client) or applets. Currently J2SE v1.6 (ou V6) J2EE (enterprise edition), is in a certain sense an extension of SE, designed for server side programming – Servlets, JSP, EJB, etc. • Currently J2EE v1.4 Java and object oriented programming • Classes, and objects – The objects include data and processing for the data. Communication is done via messages (methods). – A class corresponds to an abstract model for object construction. A class is made up of: • attributes (static part) • Methods (dynamic part), which define the behaviour. – Inheritance : the « is a » relationship : a car is a vehicule, – Polymorphism : the same message can be recognised by several objects and entail different behaviour. Portability: JVM The compiler compiles the java source in byte code : javac car.java => car.class Then, java is the name of the program which will interpret the generated byte code.

  • Abstract Window Toolkit Overview
    In this chapter: • Components • Peers 1 • Layouts • Containers • And the Rest • Summary Abstract Window Toolkit Overview For years, programmers have had to go through the hassles of porting software from BSD-based UNIX to System V Release 4–based UNIX, from OpenWindows to Motif, from PC to UNIX to Macintosh (or some combination thereof), and between various other alternatives, too numerous to mention. Getting an applica- tion to work was only part of the problem; you also had to port it to all the plat- forms you supported, which often took more time than the development effort itself. In the UNIX world, standards like POSIX and X made it easier to move appli- cations between different UNIX platforms. But they only solved part of the prob- lem and didn’t provide any help with the PC world. Portability became even more important as the Internet grew. The goal was clear: wouldn’t it be great if you could just move applications between different operating environments without worr yingabout the software breaking because of a different operating system, win- dowing environment, or internal data representation? In the spring of 1995, Sun Microsystems announced Java, which claimed to solve this dilemma. What started out as a dancing penguin (or Star Trek communicator) named Duke on remote controls for interactive television has become a new paradigm for programming on the Internet. With Java, you can create a program on one platform and deliver the compilation output (byte-codes/class files) to ever yother supported environment without recompiling or worrying about the local windowing environment, word size, or byte order.
