Specifying and Model Checking Workflows of Single Page Applications with TLA+

Abstract: Single Page Applications (SPAs) are different than hypertext-based web applications in that their workflow is not defined by explicit links, but rather implicitly by changes of their widgets' states. The workflow may hence be hard to track. We present an approach to specifying and model checking SPAs with TLA+. Our approach makes it easier to document and to track the workflow of SPAs and to find potential design flaws.
