Abstract
Web applications are fast progressive and more interactive to the worldwide use of computers. It is important to understand testing with web applications and the modelling process of web applications. A finite state machine is widely used to conduct state-based testing of web application. However, the state-space explosion is a common problem by using many input choices provided to the users. It has the ability where without any specific order the values can be entered in the web application. This combined to create state explosion issue. To solve the problem, this paper suggests a reduction analysis by reducing the number of transitions with giving constraints on the inputs by compressing Finite State Machine (FSM).
