Web Application Testing 2

Web application testing ensures a software application's functionality and quality by identifying issues like security breaches, integration problems, inconsistencies, and performance challenges before delivery. It is essential to test web applications after development to deliver bug-free software to customers, improve customer satisfaction, and protect an organization's reputation. Web application testing differs from desktop application testing in that it is URL-based, requires cross-browser testing, and focuses more on security, authentication, and load testing due to multiple concurrent users. The benefits of web application testing include delivering high quality websites, early bug detection, increased efficiency, and customer confidence.

What is Web Application

Testing?
Web app testing is a software testing practice that ensures the
application's functionality and quality as per the requirements. Before
delivery, web testing must identify all underlying issues, such as security
breaches, integration issues, functional inconsistencies, environmental
challenges, or traffic load.

Why is Web Testing essential?


 Website testing is essential and required following the development of a feature since we
cannot ensure to the customer the delivery of bug-free software without a proper web
testing phase.
 Website testing enables the detection and reporting of product defects. If testers do not
perform thorough testing, there is a high probability that end users may report issues. If
customers are dissatisfied with the end product, they will hesitate to delegate any new
feature to the team.
 If testers do not run rigorous web application tests, the risk of defects and the probability of
losing customers is high. By compromising on the software's quality, there is a negative
impact on the organization's reputation.
 Website testing is critical for delivering high-quality software. It is only by performing web
page testing that developers can ensure that the product does not have critical flaws.
 Providing bug-free software in the market attracts new customers that eventually drive
revenue generation.

Website Testing vs. Desktop


Applications
 Website testing is URL-based testing and runs across many web browsers. On the other
hand, testers carry out desktop application testing on a single computer or system.
 Desktop app testing requires an understanding of user interaction with the application.
Furthermore, web app testing necessitates familiarity with the operating system and
database.
 Testing desktop applications entails evaluating elements such as the graphical user interface
(GUI), load, and backend. Memory leaks and unhandled exceptions must be evaluated
during the desktop application testing process. Multiple users can access web apps
concurrently through the internet. Web applications run on two or more systems; they are
complex, necessitating extensive testing.
 In order to test a web application, the tester must be familiar with the application's
functionality for interacting with the end-user. Website testing verifies the application's
static page testing, browser compatibility, and overall feature functionality.
 Cross-browser testing is essential for web app automation testing, while it is not applicable
for desktop application testing. 
 Website application testing does not require Installation/uninstallation testing, while the
same is required for desktop applications. 
 Security/authentication testing is critical for website testing due to the application being
accessed by several users. On the other hand, authentication testing might not be
extensively performed on the desktop application as it is accessed mostly by a single user. 
 Testers perform load testing to evaluate websites by simultaneously accessing the app with
multiple users. On the contrary, desktop apps are used by a single user; hence, the app
behavior is not analyzed when various users access them simultaneously.

Benefits of Web App Testing


 Web app testing ensures the delivery of high-quality websites.
 It enables a highly efficient product in the market with a high customer satisfaction index.
 Web testing assures that the software is fully functional.
 A sound web testing strategy helps in the early detection of bugs. It gradually increases
tester velocity, as they can release new features more efficiently and quickly.
 Website testing helps in increasing customers' confidence in the application. 
 Since QA testers run rigorous tests on the web application at the end of each iteration and
sprint, there are fewer chances of risk and failure in the future.
 Testing a website via an automated website testing tool saves time and ensures a positive
return on investment.
