Abstract

In this paper, we present the rewriting-based, Web verification service WebVerdi-M, which is able to recognize forbidden/incorrect patterns and incomplete/missing Web pages. WebVerdi-M relies on a powerful Web verification engine that is written in Maude, which automatically derives the error symptoms. Thanks to the AC pattern matching supported by Maude and its metalevel facilities, WebVerdi-M enjoys much better performance and usability than a previous implementation of the verification framework. By using the XML Benchmarking tool xmlgen, we develop some scalable experiments which demonstrate the usefulness of our approach.
