Overview

This course helps participants get a thorough understanding of how to test the basic controls, content, navigability and features of a website or a web or mobile application, in a work-able, real-world environment. The course also goes beyond the basics and discusses the ‘ilities’ – the multiple dimensions of web and mobile quality – such as how to check compatibility, performance, security, usability, inter-operability and operational effectiveness.

What You'll Learn

  • Establish and manage a web-based development & testing lab
  • Test features, content, and navigability
  • Choose software tools and techniques you can immediately integrate into your web-based systems testing
  • Check the adequacy of security controls, minimizing vulnerability to threats
  • Test the usability of your application interfaces
  • Assess the response time, throughput and availability (load performance/stress)
  • Ensure systems work with all users’ browsers and platforms (compatibility)
  • Conduct tests to determine the user-friendliness of your web site, and significantly reduce user errors and confusion
  • Apply web testing techniques to mobile applications, and test the unique characteristics of Mobile applications
