Re: Points to consider for manual web testing

Functionality and usability are must.
then look for browser compatibility.
If it is dynamic website the look for database.
Security should also consider
check for html, css, rss and more..if you have time.

Re: Points to consider for manual web testing

Most of the points are covered above.

Functionality, availability & accessibility of links, test on all types of supporting applications (like browsers of different make and versions, its synchronization with other 3rd party tools like MSOffice & WinZip), performance, security and more depending on the web site that is to be tested.

Re: Web testing

Web testing keep much more stress on security and usability as website is available to all, and there can be any combination of H/W and S/W , so, compatibility is also the issue always when testing a website.

Other testing are same as for desktop applications.

Re: testing techniques are used in manual testing

I suggested some ways to Plan Testing a Web Application.

1. Test from back-to-front, not front-to-back.
Many testers focus on testing a web application through the browser. However, this can result in spending extra cycles testing the browser, not the web application itself. This is particularly important when performing load and performance testing. If your web application is like most, you'll have a web server that connects to one or more application servers that are then connected to a database. Therefore, performance and load slow-downs could occur at the web server, the application server(s), or the database itself.

2.Use Risk-Based Testing.

This is one of the best Techniques available to Tester.

Dear irrinak,

Thumbs up Re: testing techniques are used in manual web testing

When the web page or web browser is validated following are the different types of testing that has to be performed.

- Functionality testing
- User Interface testing
- Security testing
- Compatability testing
- Load testing
- Stress testing
- Volume testing
- Usability Testing

Most prolific errors that are faced while testing web pages are the
i. connectivity errors,
ii. functionality errors such as any of the controls or links are not performing the desired activities. For example a link to page 3 may goto page 4 etc.,
iii. Performance errors, which is most common error and the application reaction when more load is happenned.
iv. Data storage errors such as whether the data given as input in the front end is saved correctly in the data base located in the server
