Web Application Testing

What is the purpose of web testing?

E-business sites are widely recognized as a must-have marketing and information tool. Your company invested significant time and money into developing your business website. The key participants in the website development process often become attached to the overall design and performance, sometimes losing sight of how appealing the site is to the target audience. To help ensure that your business website is high caliber on all levels, various testing methodologies should be incorporated to find weaknesses in usability, as well as functionality, performance, and browser compatibility.

Why should I use nResult instead of an automated web-testing package?

By using a company with experienced test engineers, you get the sum of that experience. Automated web testing applications only find some of the potential issues that a product or an end-user can experience. nResult's staff of engineers can go above and beyond anything that a software package can provide because they are also users. Automated tests will only operate on the technical aspects of your product - the HTML and other source. They have no concept of what looks or feels good to a user. What users think about the feel of a web product is as important as its functionality.

What kinds of Testing can nResult perform on my product?


Browser Compatibility

Using nResult's vast array of hardware and operating systems, your website can be validated using virtually any combination of web browsers on any supported platforms.

By performing browser compatibility, you open your site up to the broadest base of users possible. Many internet users favor one browser over another or one operating system over another. If sites aren't compatible with their browser and operating system combination, they will often attempt to locate a competitive site that is.

Network Communications and Reliability Testing

With Internet applications, and web products in particular, network communications are of the utmost importance. If your users can't get to your site, you're unable to offer them your services.

nResult's unique load lab can help you determine the hardware requirements necessary to keep your site running at its peak efficiency, even under heavy traffic or attempted Denial of Service attack.

Our engineers can help you to determine how much bandwidth an individual user requires, how long the average visit might be, and other factors that will influence your network availability and the number of customers you can service.

Security Testing

How does your application fare against an attempted hacker? Have you left them useful clues, which can be used to gain access to your site? Is your data safe? These are some of the questions that we consider while testing your application's security concerns.

Usability and User Experience

Keeping usability and the user experience of your site in mind can be difficult during development. Do all of your pages make sense to an end-user? An application or website can be appalling to attempt to navigate if you don't understand how it's put together.

Many sites make the all-too-common error of "too many mouse-clicks." Internet users are a fickle group, and if they can't find the information that they're looking for within a few clicks they will often look for another source. At best, they will plod through a badly designed site, find the information, and leave feeling dissatisfied.

W3C HTML Compliance

The compliance of the HTML data displayed to the user is one of the biggest determining factors in cross-platform browser compatibility. Ensuring that your product generates compliant HTML decreases the effort needed to maintain a single look and feel no matter what it's viewed with and also reduces the likelihood of display issues.
