Abstract: This paper considers the problem of test automation for Web application software, which is a challenge in the software test domain. The behavior of Web application is modeled with a unified modeling language (UML) state diagram and formalized by finite state machine (FSM) using the available method. The scenario is then represented by a UML sequence diagram. By using the scenario to reduce the model, the formal testing model is generated for test automation.

Key words: finite state machine (FSM), formal testing model, scenario, sequence diagram, state diagram, test automation, Web application
