Abstract

This paper discusses three levels of requirements for testing hypertext applications: (1) the validation of the information contained in each node of the hypertext; (2) the verification of the correctness of the implementation of the links between the nodes; and (3) the evaluation of the system structure for testing the usability. For each level of the requirements, test adequacy criteria are proposed and algorithms are given for generating adequate test suites of minimum cost. Based on the analysis, a software testing tool is developed to support the efficient management of a hypertext testing process.
