Broken Links
Broken links are the links that are in the Website
and when they are clicked they don’t open a Web
page rather they show some error.
Dead Links
Dead links are the links that are in the Website
and when they are clicked they don’t open a
Webpage and they don’t even show some error.
Following are the challenges need to be taken care of while
Web Site Testing:
1. Compatibility Testing - compatibility of a web site /web
application with different browsers, OS, and hardware platforms.
2. Usability testing - for user-friendliness. We conduct
user interviews, surveys, video recording of user sessions,
and other techniques.
3. Performance Testing - web site/web application's
scalability and response time. We identify performance
bottlenecks in high hit-rate web sites/apps, Load & Stress
testing of web site.
4. Functional Testing - web application to check if it
conforms to its specifications and correctly performs all
its required functions.
5. Regression testing - to ensure consistent, repeatable
validation of each new release of a web site/ web application.
6. Security – for unauthorized access.
7. Link Coverage

Answer / deepak

Dead Link : A dead link or broken link is a link on the
world wide web that points to a web page or server that is
permanently unavailable. The most common result of a dead
link is a 404 error, which indicates that the web server
responded, but the specific page could not be found.

Broken Link (U can Say): A broken link refers to any
clickable text that should take you to a document, image or
webpage, that actually results in "page not found", a time
out or any other type of error.
