Website Testing: A Detailed Guide

Websites and web apps are growing in number day by day, and so are the expectations of people for a pleasant web experience. Even though the World Wide Web (WWW) was invented only in 1989 (32 years back), this technology has revolutionized the world we know back then. The best part is that it has made life easier for us. You no longer have to stand in long queues to pay your bills. You can get that done within a few minutes by visiting their website, web app, or mobile app.

Keeping Quality Transparency Throughout the organization

In general, software testers have a challenging job. Software testing is frequently the final significant activity undertaken prior to actually delivering a product. Since the terms “software” and “late” are nearly synonymous, it is the testers that frequently catch the ire of the whole business as they try to test the software at the end. It is the testers who are under pressure to finish faster and deem the product “release candidate” before they have had enough opportunity to be comfortable. To make matters worse, if bugs are discovered in the product after it has been released, everyone looks to the testers and says, “Why didn’t you spot those bugs?” The testers did not cause the bugs, but they must bear some of the guilt for the bugs that were disclosed.
