由於全球資訊網的便利性，導致它的應用蓬勃發展；然而卻因網站技術的困難度與瀏覽器的差異性逐漸增加，網站的測試與品質管制也愈來愈困難。本論文將針對網際網路環境架構下的超連結正確性驗證，提出自動測試的系統架構；首先我們將扼要地探討網路應用系統的一些特質，以及討論網路品質的相關議題與其性能指標，接著研究如何運用軟體使用測試的技術在網路的領域方面，並發展一套整體的驗證機制。它主要的觀念，在將所有可能的瀏覽路徑，透過馬可夫鏈的特性，表示為一個案例模式，並據以用來自動產生測試網站系統的路徑案例檔。再追蹤這些路徑案例的超連結執行結果，我們即可應用馬可夫鏈理論的分析運算，處理超連結的驗證評估工作。這個自動測試的機制不僅能有效且系統性的驗證超連結，而且在協助規劃測試過程方面，更為有效。

The user-friendly convenience of the WWW promotes its rapid application delivery, but the technical complexities of a website and variances in the browser make web testing and quality control much more difficult. This paper proposes an automatic framework for testing hyperlink correctness in the Internet applications and then discuss quality
issues and a performance index. We study how to employ the technique of statistical usage testing in such a domain and develop an integrated validating mechanism for web-based applications. All possible
navigation paths are first formulated to represent a scenario model with the Markov chain property, which is then used to statistically generate a navigation-script file. After tracing these navigation scripts, we may
then perform numerical computations of link validation based on Markov chain theory. It is noted that the proposed automatic mechanism is not only systematically effective on certifying hyperlinks, but also highly
efficient for designing a test process.
