Most of us make decisions based on the information we get from the internet because it has become an indispensable part of our lives. Websites that are informative, accessible, and user-friendly have become mandatory for all businesses to stay relevant in the market.
Hence, web application testing is now a necessity to test for potential bugs during the production environment before going live as well as in the maintenance phase. The UI design and functionality are primary of website testing. During this stage, check issues like security, access for disabled users, and the ability to handle the traffic. The following steps are done, depending on your testing requirements.
Functionality testing:
Checks if your website is as per the functional specifications you laid out in your developmental documentation. Here are a few tests performed under this:
- Check all the links in your webpages are working correctly.
- Test forms used for submitting or getting information from the user on all pages.
- Validate your HTML/CSS to ensure the search engines can crawl your site.
- Test database connection, cookies, and business workflow.
Usability testing:
Carried out by testers with a small focus group similar to your target audience and test site navigation and content.
Interface testing:
There are three areas to be tested
Application: Check if test requests are sent to the database correctly and if output displayed on the end-user side is the same. Bugs caught should be seen only by the administrator and not the end-user.
Web server: Test if it can handle all requests without any errors.
Database server: Ensure queries directed to database produce forecasted results. Also, check system responses when a connection between the three layers cannot be established and see if the right message displays to the end-user.
Database Testing:
