NEW COURSE - Web Application Testing: Principles & Practice (Hands-On)

26 June 2017

Web Application Testing: Principles & Practice (Hands-On)

Duration: 2 Days

Introduction

Web applications have a different risk profile compared to other computing environments. Typically, Web application developers have to deal with shorter project release timescales, changing technologies, disparate hardware as well as software platforms, and an uncontrolled user base that could run into millions. The combination of these factors ultimately affects the functionality, security and performance of a dynamic, application driven Website.

Web application testing is therefore a complex, high-risk process since it requires a thorough understanding of the operating strengths and weaknesses of multiple, interacting hardware and software systems, the collective use of appropriate test cases, and the deployment of specialist Web application testing tools.

The training course addresses fully the issues related to Web application testing. It provides attendees with the knowledge as well as practical skills to identify, plan and carry out different forms of Web application testing, including significant functional, security and performance tests.
