For most web testers these items are already common knowledge, but worth a read anyway. For those testers new to the field of web testing, then you should find some useful QA tips here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Stand out from the Crowd!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>40% OFF &#8211; Mobile App QA e-Learning Course<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/testing4success.com\/training\/training.html\">Order Now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here is my list in no particular order:<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_1333137589691174\"><strong id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_1333137589691173\">Web Browser Compatibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_133313758969181\">In the old days we just had Internet Explorer, and a handful of other insignificant browsers. Now we have several key players such as; IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. For any we development, browser compatibility testing is extremely important. The actual test approach is fairly easy, and consists of looking at each web page looking for issues related to layout mostly. Comparisons can then be made to other browsers. It is amazing how many differences you can detect\u00a0 with browser compatibility testing, it really is!<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_133313758969196\"><strong id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_133313758969190\">Web Functionality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_1333137589691529\">Typically, web developments contain input boxes or fields for the user to interact with. Other software techniques can be used here such as Boundary Value Analysis and Equivalence Partitioning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_1333137589691591\"><strong id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_1333137589691590\">Web Usability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_1333137589691103\">A web development must do what it was designed to to. A key concept here is usability. If a user cannot perform the actions that they expected, they will leave the website. Or if a user finds performing a task on the website too awkward or confusing, again, the user will go elsewhere. A web tester should be able to place themselves in the mind-set of a typical user and work through various user-based scenarios.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_19_1333137589691775\">Well, that&#8217;s a few web testing basics to start with, I will post more tips soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we consider web testing, we think about either testing a web page or a website app. This blog highlights some key QA considerations when thinking about web testing.
