, without page reloading)." (Holub, 2006) Additionally, according to Holub (2006), "Results indicate that state-based testing is powerful and can reveal faults otherwise unnoticed or very hard to detect using existing techniques
The main difference between traditional multipage Web applications and AJAX-based applications is that the "more conventional" and synchronous request-response protocol has been replaced by one based on asynchronous communications." (Marchetto, Ricca, Tonella, 2008) AJAX-based Web 2
This goodness for the user might mean that more monitoring and security oversight might be required of network professionals, as well as, potentially server and network alterations." (Powell, 2008) Additionally, "Ajax applications are limited by HTTP to two simultaneous connections to the same URL
"This is a far easier mistake to make in an AJAX application than in a traditional Web application because the client plays a larger role in data processing, presentation and possibly storage." (Vijayan, 2007) However there are applications available to 'clean up' the threats associated with AJAX
His experimental site, Zuggest, extends the concept of auto-completion: as the user enters a term, the system automatically triggers a search without the need to hit a search button." (Wusteman, Padraig, 2006) The idiosyncratic fault behavior of the AJAX application was addressed as a function of the DOM invariant on the tree branch to where simulation tests are ran under different scenarios to determine the appropriate solution based on the most frequently reoccurring errors
" (Marchetto, Ricca, Tonella, 2008) AJAX-based Web 2.0 (Mesbah & Deursen) is defined
Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XMl) is a new interaction method between server and client side, and asynchronous interactive technology is involved with web applications, so that applications could give users more efficient response and a good user experience." (Jiaqi, Jie, Shujuan, 2009) Essentially, AJAX enables the use of cache to retrieve website information without using bandwidth to reload the website
The most important technology in realizing this shift is Ajax (Asynchronous javascript and XML), an umbrella term for existing techniques such as JavaScript, DOM manipulation and the XML Http Request object." (Matthijssen, Zaidman, Storey, Bull, Deursen, 2010) According to Matthijssen et al
