Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the invention are directed to computer-implemented methods of analyzing a web-based software application. A non-limiting example of the computer implemented method includes generating, using a processor system, a set of to-be-tested element-event pairs of the web-based software application. A set of compatibility tests is received at the processor system, where the set of compatibility tests is operable to perform compatibility testing of a corresponding set of element-event pairs. A comparison is performed between the set of to-be-tested element-event pairs and the corresponding set of element-event pairs. A compatibility testing recommendation is generated based at least in part on a result of the comparison.
