Abstract
A test page including a statement invoking an executable periodically reloading the test page is placed on a Web server having a security plug-in to be tested. The test page may include multiple frames, each containing a reference requesting access to the same test page or each performing a different testing function. The test page may be placed in a protected directory, may include an attempt to access the contents of a file within a different protected directory, and may include attempts to access protected CGI executables or other programs or modules which may be run on the Web server. A remote browser is employed to attempt to access the test page using the userid and password employed to login to the browser. Successful or unsuccessful access to the test page verifies proper operation of the security plug-in. The test page is automatically reloaded by the browser at a selected interval, and multiple frames or multiple browser instances each accessing the test page results in stress testing of the security plug-in.
