Abstract:
Internet made human beings to do things efficient and faster and humans use internet
everywhere. Most of the time people use internet through browsers and they do browsing,
communication, e-commerce and ext... According to their needs there were enough browser
extension being developed and used in-order to add extra functionalities and to support them.
People deals with their personal information on browser in their day-today life such as
credential information, credit card details and bank account information email accounts and
ext… But a browser extension can access these all information from browser. So the extension
developers should be aware of each line of code. There will be a big impact if there is small
hole for hackers.
So testing a browser extension became mandatory to make sure, whether the functionality and
security of browser extension have achieved or not. But testing a browser is not a simple task
with existing browser extension testing methods. There is only one way available and used to
test a browser extension such as “WebDriver”. The WebDrivers are not capable enough to
provide a complete test coverage to browser extension. The WebDriver is not supporting to test
more parts of the extension and it is not always reliable.
To avoid the existing problems and to provide a complete test coverage for a browser extension
testing a Browser Extension Testing Emulator was proposed. That concept has analyzed,
designed, develop and tested as a search project here.
