website testing
Overview
A web application (app) is a program delivered through the internet in the form of a browser interface. The purpose of a web app is efficiently communicating and exchanging information with its users while being compliant with a variety of browsers and operating systems (OSs).
Web app testing, or web testing, is a software testing practice that helps ensure the quality and functionalities of the app according to the requirements. Web testing must detect all underlying issues, such as functional discrepancies, security breaches, integration problems, environmental issues, or traffic stress before it is delivered.
Purpose & What we do
When a website is deployed, anything can happen: broken links, difficult navigation, web security, and many other potential risks. A careful testing process is key to reducing these risks and maintaining web quality.
We do the following testing on the websites and produce the reports of observations
Web App Functionality Testing
Web App Interface Testing
Web App Compatibility Testing
Web App Performance Testing
Usability testing
Database Testing
Security testing
Intruder Testing
Testing
Web App Functionality Testing
One of the most common tests for web apps. Functionality testing checks if the initial build works as per its design. It often covers link testing, form validation, cookie testing, HTML and CSS validation, and database connection checkup.
Web App Interface Testing
Interface testing examines how the web interface responds to emulated interruptions, as well as its compatibility and interaction between different servers. Three key areas to focus on are the application server, web server, and database server.
Web App Compatibility Testing
Compatibility testing checks whether or not the web design is compatible with a variety of browsers and devices. This includes browser and OS compatibility testing, along with mobile browsing and printing options testing.
Web App Performance Testing
Performance testing is load testing for web apps. Besides the tests on traffic load, stress tests and scalability tests are also crucial to the web performance, especially when it is potentially released to a large audience.
Usability Testing
Usability testing has now become a vital part of any web based project. It can be carried out by testers like you or a small focus group similar to the target audience of the web application.
Test the site Navigation:
Menus, buttons or Links to different pages on your site should be easily visible and consistent on all webpages
Test the Content:
Content should be legible with no spelling or grammatical errors.
Images if present should contain an “alt” text
Database Testing
Database is one critical component of your web application and stress must be laid to test it thoroughly. Testing activities will include-
Test if any errors are shown while executing queries
Data Integrity is maintained while creating, updating or deleting data in database.
Check response time of queries and fine tune them if necessary.
Test data retrieved from your database is shown accurately in your web application
Security Testing
Security testing is vital for e-commerce website that store sensitive customer information like credit cards. Testing Activities will include-
Test unauthorized access to secure pages should not be permitted
Restricted files should not be downloadable without appropriate access
Check sessions are automatically killed after prolonged user inactivity
On use of SSL certificates, website should re-direct to encrypted SSL pages.
Intruder Testing
Intruder is a powerful vulnerability scanner that will help you uncover the many weaknesses lurking in your web applications and underlying infrastructure. Offering industry-leading security checks, continuous monitoring and an easy-to-use platform, Intruder keeps businesses of all sizes safe from hackers.
API Testing
The purpose of API Testing is to check the functionality, reliability, performance, and security of the programming interfaces. In API Testing, instead of using standard user inputs(keyboard) and outputs, you use software to send calls to the API, get output, and note down the system’s response. API tests are very different from GUI Tests and won’t concentrate on the look and feel of an application.
