Hi all,

could u plz tell me what generally we have to test in the WEB TESTING and what types of errors can one face.....?

Tests to be applied under web testing :
- user interface testing
- functionality testing
- manual support testing
- security testing
- compatability testing
- load and stress testing
- interoperability testing / intersystems testing
- storage and data volume testing

For manual web testing which point should be considered, How to note it down? Clarify steps...

Question asked by visitor monica somani

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.

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.

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.

Which testing techniques are used in manual testing while testing a web-application and web pages...

Please provide the answer as early as possible

Thanks,

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,

Will you explain it a little bit more, because as I know everyone test the web pages through browser only.

Hi All,

How to test the web application (take example as Java or HTML)? Can anybody mention clearly about this.

I already tested VB applications,is this testing differs with webtesting what may be the test cases?

Please answer to my question....

Thanks in advance
Raman.

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
