Applying MDSOC to Web applications

Web applications have become very complex and crucial, especially when combined with areas such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and BPR (Business Process Reengineering), the scientific community has focused attention to Web application design, development, analysis, and testing, by studying and proposing methodologies and tools. This paper describes an approach to apply multi-dimensional separation of concerns (MDSOC) to Web applications through Object-Oriented Web modeling. This technique may support "sliced" analysis of Web software, by focusing on particular aspects/concerns (concept, goal, purpose, etc.). Moreover this paper shows the use of this approach to document, understand and to test Web applications. This approach is the first step of a path mat we are trailing at our laboratory in the development of the WAAT (Web Application Analysis and Testing) project.
