Dinesh Bhat's WebLog

Testing Web applications

As a tester in Microsoft, I got experience in testing APIs, command line tools and Rich client based apps. However, testing  web applications or commercial web sites is something I want to learn. Ex: What it takes to test a shopping web site?  Some of the things I know in this domain are UI testing, security, load, stress and perf, testing with multiple browsers etc. I also learnt that Winrunner and Loadrunner are the commonly used tools. I would like to know details on how to get a web app to ship quality, commonly used testing strategies and trade offs, tools and process. If you can point to docs and tools that would be great.

 

Update:2/22: Since the last post, I found couple of good books on web testing:

 

1. Web testing Companion By Lydia Ash

2. Performance Testing Microsoft .NET Web Applications

The best testing tool is going to be Ocracoke ;) I'm serious. Loadrunner is the best so far, but he is so expensive! and it takes a few months of training for QA personal to start using it.

I'm trying to adapt Team System's Ocracoke for our tests and so far it was good, especially after the December release.
