Inferring User Interface Patterns from Execution Traces of Web Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a dynamic reverse engineering approach to extract User Interface (UI) Patterns from existent Web Applications. Firstly, information related to user interaction is saved, in particular: user actions and parameters; the HTML source pages; and the URLs. Secondly, the collected information is analysed in order to calculate several metrics (e.g., the differences between subsequent HTML pages). Thirdly, the existent UI Patterns are inferred from the overall information calculated based on a set of heuristic rules. The overall reverse engineering approach is evaluated with some experiments over several public Web Applications.

High Fuzzy Utility Based Frequent Patterns Mining Approach for Mobile Web Services Sequences
Nowadays high fuzzy utility based pattern mining is an emerging topic in data mining. It refers to discover all patterns having a high utility meeting a user-specified minimum high utility threshold. It comprises extracting patterns which are highly accessed in mobile web service sequences. Different from the traditional fuzzy approach, high fuzzy utility mining considers not only counts of mob...
متن کاملInferring Hierarchical Motifs from Execution Traces
Program comprehension is a necessary step for performing many software engineering tasks. Dynamic analysis is effective in producing execution traces that assist comprehension. Traces are rich sources of information regarding the behaviour of a program. However, it is challenging to gain insight from traces due to their overwhelming amount of data and complexity. We propose a generic technique ...
متن کاملAutomatic Invariant Detection in Dynamic Web Applications
The complexity of modern web applications increases as client-side JavaScript and dynamic DOM programming are used to offer a more interactive web experience. In this paper, we focus on improving the dependability of such applications by automatically inferring invariants from the client-side and using those invariants for testing. By combining JavaScript code instrumentation and tracing we inf...

متن کاملPrediction of user's trustworthiness in web-based social networks via text mining
In Social networks, users need a proper estimation of trust in others to be able to initialize reliable relationships. Some trust evaluation mechanisms have been offered, which use direct ratings to calculate or propagate trust values. However, in some web-based social networks where users only have binary relationships, there is no direct rating available. Therefore, a new method is required t...
