Generation of Realistic Navigation Paths for Web Site Testing using RNNs and GANs

by Marco Brambilla, posted in big data, data science, event, software engineering

we propose a method that focuses on the generation of REALISTIC NAVIGATIONAL PATHS, i.e., web logs. Our approach is extremely relevant because it can at the same time tackle the problem of lack of publicly available data about web navigation logs, and also be adopted in industry for AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF REALISTIC TEST SETTINGS of Web sites yet to be deployed.
