Testing Web Applications

( Duration: 2 Days )

The Testing Web Applications training course covers testing good practices with a special focus on web application testing.

By attending Testing Web Applications workshop, delegates will learn to:

Understand where functional, stress, load and regression testing fits into the development cycle
Web Application Architecture
How web testing is unique
Test coverage models
UI, functional, database and help testing
Installation, configuration, security and load testing
Test reporting
Overview of web testing tools

Some experience with testing software applications.

This Testing Web Applications class is ideal for Testers, test engineers, development managers, test managers and project managers who will be designing, managing, and performing the testing of web applications.

COURSE AGENDA

1

Testing Fundamentals Part I

Basic Tests
The common tests you should perform on a build
Basic differences between Web and Thick Client Applications
The next cycle of functional testing if the previous tests worked
Wait for responses from the development group
A program cannot be completely tested
The goal
The development team
Development Process
The Rational Unified Process
Inception Phase
Testing during this phase
Elaboration Phase
Example of a Use Case Diagram
Construction Phase
Software Development Life Cycle with the RUP
Testing during coding
Testing after integration
Performance Testing
Regression Test
A typical sequence
Typical FVT and SVT tests

2

Testing Fundamentals Part II

What is a bug?
Common types of bugs
Sample bug report - Simple
Sample bug report - complex
Best practices in bug reporting
Characteristics of a good problem report
Typical states that a bug goes through
The goals
Best Practices
Sample bug state chart

Web Testing

Web-based software
Java Web Application Architecture (Thin Client)
Java Web Application Architecture (Rich Client)
Java EE Architecture
Web Application Programming Model MVC
An Example - The IBM WebSphere Platform
Web Applications
Browser as a client
Bugs may originate from the SW stack
Introduction
Key Characteristics
Instructor Demo
RIA Platforms
What is AJAX?
Ajax Example Yahoo Maps
RIA Architecture
RIA Architecture Details
RIA Benefits
RIA Drawbacks
There are many layers involved
Many unique issues are encountered in this environment
Browsers are platform independent clients
Browser variations need to be accounted for
Cookies are commonly needed
Back button of the browser
Refresh button of the browser
Bookmarks
Client Side validation should be performed
Only JavaScript validation though is not enough!
More client side validations
If your application functionality depends on JavaScript
Clicking the submit button multiple times
Sudden client exit instead of explicit logoff won’t be detected
You may have to test a fat client

Test Plan and Test Case Design

The requirements of a system
Document one - Use Case Document
UC01 Add a new appointment
Document 2 - Supplementary specifications
Knowing the testing priority
The Severity Scale
The priority scale
The likelihood scale
Priority of Coverage
An example
The test plan
