Web Application Testing Steps

XBO's web application testing services cover Functionality testing, Usability testing, Interface testing, Compatibility testing, Performance testing, and Security testing.

2) Usability Testing: this covers navigation issues, content checking, and aspects of user 'help' functions.

• Navigation review:
  1. Validate different controls such as buttons, boxes or how user accesses links on the pages to surf different pages.
  2. Error prevention: Instructions should be clearly provided. Check if the provided instructions satisfy their purpose.
  3. Main menu should be provided on each page with consistent navigation forwards and backwards.
• Content checking:
  1. Content should be logical and easy to understand.
  2. check for spelling errors. Use of dark colors annoys users and should not be used in application color schema/theme.
  3. Ensure standards that were used for web page and content building were followed.
  4. All the anchor text links should be working properly.
  5. Images should be placed properly with proper and consistent sizes.
• User help functions:
  1. Sitemap should be present with all links and with proper tree view of navigation. Check for all links on the sitemap.
  2. Test 'Search in the site' option will help users to find content pages they are looking for easily and quickly.
• Check if all the interactions between these servers are executed properly and that errors are handled properly.
• Check what happens if user interrupts any transaction in-between.
• Check what happens if connection to web server is reset in-between.
