 Goal  Introduction  Testing Methods  Explanation of Tools  Screen Shots & Demo  Comparison  Difficulties Encountered

 Survey and identify current and most widely used Software Testing Tools  Provide comparison study between 9 software testing tools

 It is a process of: ◦ Verifying and Validating the software ◦ Making sure the software meets the business and technical requirements ◦ Making sure the software works as expected without bugs  Testing can be done at different points in the development process, but mostly performed after the programming is completed

 Black Box Testing: Testing without any knowledge of the internal implementation  White Box Testing: Testing with the knowledge of and access to the code, data structure and the algorithms  Grey Box Testing: Creating test cases with access to code and the data structure, but testing as a user(black box testing)

 Unit Testing: Testing only the functionality of a particular module or a specific section of the code  Integration Testing: Testing to find the defects in the interfaces and interaction between integrated components  Regression Testing: Finding defects after a major code change, to make sure what used to work before, hasn’t stopped working  Acceptance Testing: Performed by the customer in his environment before accepting the software

 Identifying testing tools used in Web Development environment  Study and compare few tools that are used for Functional and Non-Functional testing

 Load and Performance Test Tools  HTML Validators & Link Checkers  Web Functional/Regression Test Tools  Web Site Security Test Tools  External Site Monitoring Services  Web Site Management Tools

 LoadRunner: ◦ LoadRunner is a performance and load testing product by HP for examining system behaviour and performance, while generating actual load. ◦ LoadRunner emulates an environment in which thousands of users work with a client/server system concurrently.

 Load Impact ◦ Web-based Load Testing ◦ Vendor - Gatorhole ◦ Used to test the load- and stress- of our website over the Internet. ◦ How many users can my website handle ?

Website

 Web Page Analyzer ◦ Web site speed test to improve website performance. ◦ Enter a URL below to calculate page size, composition, and download time. ◦ calculates the size of individual elements and sums up each type of web page component.

Website

 Load Time-pingdom ◦ Loads a complete HTML page including all objects like images, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes. ◦ It mimics the way a page is loaded in a web browser. ◦ The load time of all objects is shown visually with time bars. ◦ Every test shows general statistics about the loaded page such as the total number of objects, total load time, and size including all objects.

Website

 Page Speed ◦ open-source Firefox/Firebug Add-on. ◦ Vendor – Google ◦ Webmasters and web developers can use Page Speed to evaluate the performance of their web pages and to get suggestions on how to improve them. ◦ By using Page Speed, we can:  Make our site faster.  Keep Internet users engaged with your site.  Reduce your bandwidth and hosting costs.  Improve the web

 HTML Tidy  W3C HTML Validation Service  WDG HTML Validator  CSS Validator  W3C Link Checker  iCal Validator  RSS Validator

 HTML Validator ◦ HTML Tidy is a computer program and a library the purpose of which is to fix invalid HTML and to improve the layout and indent style of the resulting markup. ◦ Firefox add-on, open source by Marc Gueury. ◦ Available in 17 languages and for Windows and other platforms.

 W3C HTML Validation Service ◦ Vendor – W3C ◦ Checks Web documents in formats like HTML and XHTML for conformance to W3C Recommendations and other standards. ◦ Validate by file upload and validate by direct input

Website

 W3C Link Checker ◦ This is a tool to get a deep information about links in a webpage, about errors and link inexistence. ◦ Check the pages for broken links and errors in URLs. ◦ The W3C validator is developed with assistance from the Mozilla Foundation

Website

 CSS Validator ◦ Checks Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) in (X)HTML documents or standalone for conformance to W3C recommendations. ◦ Validate by file upload and validate by direct input

Website

 iCal validator ◦ iCal is a personal calendar application made by APPLE INC. ◦ It tracks events and appoinments, allows multiple calendar views to quickly identify conflicts. ◦ It is integrated with MobileMe, so calendars can be shared with other devices, such as PCs, iPhones, and iPod touch, over the Internet.

 RSS Validator ◦ RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format

Website

 Nessus: ◦ Vulnerability scanner from Tenable Network Security with high speed discovery ◦ Nessus scanners can be distributed throughout an entire enterprise and across physically separate networks.

Website

 Pingdom : ◦ Server, network and website monitoring services ◦ Includes current and historical reporting ◦ world-wide network of monitoring servers ◦ checks every 1-60 mins.

 Certain tools are not free and the free versions do not have all features  Certain testing need to be done in a network or against a Web server that you need to have full access to  I don’t have a sample project to test in different platforms.
