Abstract: Conventional test data generation techniques based on random algorithm, constraint-solving and white-box testing oriented generation method ignore the dependency between test data and database, which are not suitable for test data reuse and web application testing. This paper presents a test data generation and selection approach based on data constraints in business processes, which improves the reusability of data by injecting semi-formalized constraints into web business process with data pool storage technique. The case study shows a set of test data with high usability can be generated by this technique with low consumption.
