Abstract (EN): Nowadays, web applications play an important role in our society and in the business world. Many companies earn a large part of their revenues through web applications that provide support services that must be maintained and improved over time. Most of these services operate on a large scale and are in constant change due to the environment in which they operate and due to the rapid technological evolution as we strive to improve our everyday lives. Due to this constantly changing environment, it is difficult to estimate the impact of changes; to maintain the software requirements documents updated; and to build and maintain a test suit for regression testing. Regression tests must be updated continually in order to test the current behavior after requested changes are implemented. REQAnalytics is a tool that aims to solve these problems. This paper presents REQAnalytics and an extension to generate test cases from the usage of a SaaS platform in order to diminish the effort in building and maintaining regression tests that are useful to check if the SaaS platform remains working as expected.
