Web Application Testing Checklist

Web application testing ensures your app is free of bugs before launch, emphasizing security, functionality, user accessibility, and traffic management.

Types of Web App Testing

Functionality Testing
Interface Testing
Usability Testing
Database Testing
Compatibility Testing
Performance Testing
Security Testing

Functionality
Testing

Assesses features and behavior to ensure they align with specifications, concentrating on:

Outgoing, Internal, Anchor, and Mailto Links: Ensure all link types operate as intended.
Interactive Elements: Verify that buttons, forms, and menus work correctly.
Workflow and Navigation: Ensure users can navigate the site and complete tasks effortlessly.
User Input and Validation: Confirm forms process data accurately and display appropriate error messages.

Interface
Testing

Verifies that different layers of the application interact correctly:

Application Interface: Test how the application processes user requests, ensuring smooth operation and clear error messages when issues arise.
Web Server Interface: Confirm that the web server processes requests efficiently, managing traffic without delays or crashes.
Database Interface: Ensure the database server returns accurate query results and handles connection issues effectively.

Usability
Testing

Evaluates the ease of use for new users, focusing on:

Navigation and Content Clarity: Ensure the website's navigation is intuitive and easy to follow. Content should be readable with well-structured text, and images must have accurate "alt" text for accessibility.
Consistency in Design: Verify that fonts are uniform across the site, text and elements are correctly aligned, and tooltips are clearly visible and informative.
Functional and Accessible Elements: Check that all buttons, including the home link, work as intended. Error and confirmation messages should be clear, and the site must display correctly across various screen resolutions while remaining fully navigable via keyboard.

Database
Testing

Evaluates the integrity and performance of the database:

Error-Free Queries and Fast Response Times: Ensure all database queries execute without errors and return results promptly.
Field Lengths and Data Encryption: Verify that field lengths adhere to specifications and that sensitive data is adequately encrypted.
Consistency Between Front-End and Back-End Data: Confirm that the data displayed on the front-end aligns with the data stored in the database.

Compatibility
Testing

Verifies the application's functionality across different browsers, operating systems, and devices:

Display and Functionality Across Various Browsers and OS: Ensure the website displays correctly and all features function as intended on multiple browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and operating systems (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux).
Consistent HTML and JavaScript Functionality: Confirm that the website adheres to HTML standards for compatibility across browsers. Test JavaScript to ensure interactive features and dynamic content behave consistently on all supported browsers and operating systems.

Performance
Testing

Assesses response times and system behavior under various loads:

Response Times and Speed: Evaluate how quickly the website responds to user actions and loads content, ensuring fast and smooth performance.
Load and Stress Testing: Assess the website's performance under different levels of traffic, including peak loads, to ensure it can accommodate numerous users without slowing down or crashing.
Optimization and Recovery: Implement optimization techniques to enhance performance and test the website's ability to recover from crashes or heavy loads, ensuring stability and reliability.

Security
Testing

Identifies and mitigates security vulnerabilities:

HTTPS and Encryption: Confirm that sensitive data is transmitted securely over HTTPS, and ensure all sensitive information displayed on the website is encrypted to protect user data.
Vulnerability Protection: Safeguard against SQL injection attacks, manage sessions securely, and avoid exposing sensitive information in error messages.
Role-Based Access and Logging: Ensure users have the appropriate role-based access to features and data, and verify that critical operations are logged for monitoring and security audits.

MOBILE APP TESTING: ESSENTIAL GUIDELINES

Quality Assurance (QA) is essential throughout the mobile app development process, from initial planning to post-release.

PREPARATORY PHASE

Before assembling the app, perform these steps:

Identify supported devices and OS versions
Select popular device models and additional devices with varied screen sizes

Types of Mobile App Testing

Functional Testing
Performance Testing
Compatibility Testing
Usability Testing
Security Testing
Recoverability Testing
Other Important Checks

Functional
Testing

This testing ensures that all features of the app function as intended. Key checks include:

Verifying the functionality of mandatory fields and how the app behaves during calls and SMS handling.
Checking support for multitasking, as well as social and payment integrations, along with proper scrolling and navigation.
Assessing the performance impact on other apps and ensuring the app resumes correctly after a reboot.
Confirming correct installation, auto-start functionality, and performance across various network types.
Conducting regression testing to identify any new bugs that may have arisen.

Performance Testing

This type of testing focuses on evaluating the app's performance under various conditions:

Load and Network Performance: Analyze how the app behaves under different load conditions and varying network speeds, along with assessing client-server interactions.
Bottleneck Identification and Response Time Optimization: Identify any bottlenecks and work on improving response times.
Battery Life and Network Switching Performance: Evaluate the app's battery consumption and its performance during network transitions.
Resource Management and Stability: Monitor battery usage, CPU optimization, and the app's stability during prolonged use and while switching networks.

Compatibility Testing

This type of testing ensures that the app operates seamlessly across different system components:

Network Performance: Assess how the app performs under various network conditions, including during movement and periods of intermittent connectivity.
User Interface Fit: Ensure the app's interface is well-suited for different screen sizes, maintaining readability of text on all devices.
Functionality of Calls and Alarms: Verify that the app appropriately handles phone calls and alarms, reducing disruptions and restoring functionality afterwards.

Usability Testing

This testing focuses on ensuring user-friendliness and an intuitive design:

Button Size and Placement: Verify that buttons are adequately sized and strategically placed for easy access. Consistent use of icons throughout the app helps maintain user familiarity.
Colors and Text Clarity: Ensure color consistency and that text is clear and readable. Include zoom functionality as needed and confirm text legibility across various screen sizes.
User Guidance and Language Support: Provide options to undo actions for error correction and offer a user manual for assistance. Support multiple languages and ensure app items are synchronized based on user actions to improve usability.

Security Testing

This testing focuses on ensuring data and network security:

Protection Against Attacks: Confirm that the app is secure against brute force attacks and unauthorized access.
Password and Session Security: Ensure the implementation of strong password policies, proper session management, and safeguards against SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Data Storage and Security Checks: Validate the use of certificates, protection against denial of service attacks, and the encryption of stored data. Conduct regular security audits to maintain high security standards.

Recoverability Testing

This testing assesses the app's ability to recover from failures:

Handling Interruptions and Crashes: Evaluate how the app handles transactions during unexpected interruptions, such as crashes, ensuring it can recover without data loss or errors.
Power Failure Response: Check the app's functionality during power outages or unexpected device shutdowns, ensuring it can resume correctly while maintaining data integrity.
Reconnection and Data Recovery: Examine how the app reconnects after losing connectivity and retrieves data impacted by interruptions, ensuring it accurately restores the last known state.
