The overwhelming increase in the number of users demands the development of web systems which are compatible with changing user requirements. To ensure high quality web based systems, exhaustive testing of web application is therefore mandatory before they are made live. This paper presents a literature survey of existing techniques used for testing web applications. The main focus of this research paper is on the testing strategies used so far in the area of web application testing. To this end, we performed a search on publications in the selected electronic databases published from 2000 to 2014. Through our careful review, a total of thirteen papers have been selected as primary studies. A comparative analysis of the various techniques, used for testing web based applications is also discussed in the paper. Read More Read Less

This paper proposes a mobile app architecture that reuses the resources of the existing student information system of educational institutions. The educational institutions have an existing website that interacts with a data store to disseminate information to its stakeholders. The data store and the web resources have been reused for the mobile app. Web services are developed to fetch information from the data store. The data fetched via web services is presented via appropriate screens. Design of a complete new application requires a lot of effort during development and testing, to come up with a stable product. Reuse of existing infrastructure and software simplifies the task by focusing mainly on the new features and saves cost, time and effort. A prototype developed for University of Delhi using the proposed architecture is discussed in detail. The architecture enables delivery of individualized information to students on their mobile devices which is accessible anywhere and anytime. This keeps students informed and satisfied. The architecture can be replicated to design mobile app for any organization having a data store. Read More Read Less

Abstract Cloud computing is considered a paradigm both technology and business. Its widespread adoption is an increasingly effective trend.

However, the lack of quality metrics and audit of services offered in the cloud slows its use, and it stimulates the increase in focused discussions with the adaptation of existing standards in management services for cloud services offered. This article describes the CSRA Model, that is A Cloud Service Risk Assessment Model following interoperability standards, risk management and audit of cloud IT services. Aims to present that is possible to assess the life cycle of services offered in the cloud in the technical dimensions of usability, good practices, economic viability and management of information security risks, based on existing standards and best practice. It highlighted the risk management, through a combination of consequence and likelihood of risk events, based on ISO / IEC 27005: 2011 and ISO / IEC 27017: 5th WD, 2013 and the use of Bayesian Networks in the evaluation the likelihood and relationship between several simultaneous events.
