How do u go abt when ur testing web applications?

Answer Posted / geetz

Web sites are essentially client/server applications - with
web servers and 'browser' clients. Consideration should be
given to the interactions between htm
l pages, TCP/IP communications, Internet connections,
firewalls, applications that run in web pages (such as
javascript, plug-in applications(flash, quick time)), and
applications that run on the server side (such as asp.net,
database interfaces etc.).

Other considerations might include:

What are the expected loads on the server (e.g., number of
hits per unit time?), and what kind of performance is
required under such loads (such as web server response
time, database query response times).
Who is the target audience? What kind of browsers will they
be using? What kind of connection speeds will they by using?

What kind of performance is expected on the client side
(e.g., how fast should pages appear, how fast should
animations etc. load and run)?

Will down time for server and content maintenance/upgrades
be allowed? how much?
What kinds of security (firewalls, encryptions, passwords,
etc.) will be required and what is it expected to do? How
can it be tested?

What processes will be required to manage updates to the
web site's content, and what are the requirements for
maintaining, tracking, and controlling page content,
graphics, links, etc.?
Which HTML specification will be adhered to? How strictly?
What variations will be allowed for targeted browsers?

How will internal and external links be validated and
updated? how often?
Can testing be done on the production system, or will a
separate test system be required? How are browser caching,
variations in browser option settings, dial-up connection
variabilities, and real-world internet 'traffic congestion'
problems to be accounted for in testing?
How extensive or customized are the server logging and
reporting requirements; are they considered an integral
part of the system and do they require testing?

links concerning web site security - eg.https pages for
account info in banking website.
Some usability guidelines to be consider - eg.how
userfriendly it is.
