Web Application Testing Checklist
I hope you would find the Part 1 of the checklist pretty interesting. Please do share your comments if any. Here is the Part 2 of it.
APPLICATION SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
1. DATA INTEGRATION
- Check the maximum field lengths to ensure that there are no truncated characters?
- If numeric fields accept negative values can these be stored correctly on the database and does it make sense for the field to accept negative numbers?
- If a particular set of data is saved to the database check that each value gets saved fully to the database. (i.e.) Beware of truncation (of strings) and rounding of numeric values.
2. DATE FIELD CHECKS
- Assure that leap years are validated correctly & do not cause errors/miscalculations.
- Assure that Feb. 28, 29, 30 are validated correctly & do not cause errors/ miscalculations.
- Is copyright for all the sites includes Yahoo co-branded sites are updated
3. NUMERIC FIELDS
- Assure that lowest and highest values are handled correctly.
- Assure that numeric fields with a blank in position 1 are processed or reported as an error.
- Assure that fields with a blank in the last position are processed or reported as an error an error.
- Assure that both + and - values are correctly processed.
- Assure that division by zero does not occur.
- Include value zero in all calculations.
- Assure that upper and lower values in ranges are handled correctly. (Using BVA)
2.4 ALPHANUMERIC FIELD CHECKS
- Use blank and non-blank data.
- Include lowest and highest values.
- Include invalid characters & symbols.
- Include valid characters.
- Include data items with first position blank.
- Include data items with last position blank.
INTERFACE AND ERROR HANDLING
1. SERVER INTERFACE
- Verify that communication is done correctly, web server-application server, application server-database server and vice versa.
- Compatibility of server software, hardware, network connections
2. EXTERNAL INTERFACE
- Have all supported browsers been tested?
- Have all error conditions related to external interfaces been tested when external application is unavailable or server inaccessible?
3. INTERNAL INTERFACE
- If the site uses plug-ins, can the site still be used without them?
- Can all linked documents be supported/opened on all platforms (i.e. can Microsoft Word be opened on Solaris)?
- Are failures handled if there are errors in download?
- Can users use copy/paste functionality? Does it allows in password/CVV/credit card no field?
- Are you able to submit unencrypted form data?
4. INTERNAL INTERFACE
- If the system does crash, are the re-start and recovery mechanisms efficient and reliable?
- If we leave the site in the middle of a task does it cancel?
- If we lose our Internet connection does the transaction cancel?
- Does our solution handle browser crashes?
- Does our solution handle network failures between Web site and application servers?
- Have you implemented intelligent error handling (from disabling cookies, etc.)?
COMPATIBILITY
1. BROWSERS
- Is the HTML version being used compatible with appropriate browser versions?
- Do images display correctly with browsers under test?
- Verify the fonts are usable on any of the browsers
- Is Java Code/Scripts usable by the browsers under test?
- Have you tested Animated GIFs across browsers?
2. VIDEO SETTINGS
- Screen resolution (check that text and graphic alignment still work, font are readable etc.) like 1024 by 768, 600x800, 640 x 480 pixels etc
- Color depth (256, 16-bit, 32-bit)
3 CONNECTION SPEED
- Does the site load quickly enough in the viewer's browser within 8 Seconds?
4 PRINTERS
- Text and image alignment
- Colors of text, foreground and background
- Scalability to fit paper size
- Tables and borders
- Do pages print legibly without cutting off text?
