Web application testing

An exhaustive examination of web application security is an effective way to detect irregularities in the code or existing processes. If you want to ensure that everything is done correctly, it is best to have experts handle it. < /p>

An experienced, qualified team of Develos conducts a detailed security audit of web applications to assess whether the application complies with best practices and regulations industry.

Another important element is resistance to attacks. We perform intensive security tests of web applications and simulate various threat scenarios to understand how the application copes with potential cyber attacks.

These tests help us identify potential security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. We also evaluate how quickly and effectively the application can identify and respond to threats before they become large.

Manual tests of the web application are performed manually, without the use of work automation programs, by qualified software testers. They involve systematic and thorough verification of the correct operation of the entire application and its individual functions, usually according to a specific scenario.

As part of their work, testers simulate how the application could be used by its target audience. Manual testing of a web application (internet) allows you to find barriers in the proper use of the application that the user may actually encounter.

It also allows you to detect irregularities and non-optimal solutions in the interface. While taste is a personal matter, certain aspects (e.g. lack of symmetry or illegibility of individual elements, difficulties in navigation) of the website design may be subject to objective assessment.

Automated tests are based on tools for testing web applications, or rather dedicated scripts written by developers for a given application.

As their name suggests, after preparing the appropriate code, the tests are fully automated, which means they can be reused (iterated) as needed.

Automated tests of web applications allow you to quickly and accurately verify the software for irregularities included in the script and compare the obtained values with the expected ones.

They are also characterized by ease and speed of reporting and the ability to easily recreate the test course. They are carried out under the supervision of qualified specialists, which ensures a trouble-free course of the entire process and the reliability of the results obtained.

Due to their nature, properly prepared and conducted automatic tests of a web application exclude the occurrence of human error, for example related to the testers fatigue or poor well-being. On the other hand, their scope is limited to variables that have been placed in the script by the developer and therefore may not capture all application problems.

On the other hand, manual tests of web applications, although they usually use previously prepared operating patterns, also allow for detecting other errors than those expected. Their implementation time may also be shorter as they do not require the development of dedicated scripts. However, they involve the risk of human errors and cannot be iterated as quickly as in the case of automated tests - they need to be made from scratch if they need to be repeated.

There are also some forms of testing that cannot be performed in a certain way or would be highly inappropriatepractical. For example, application load tests (verifying its operation with a large number of active users) are performed using automatic methods. In turn, tests related to UX (user experience) and UI (interface) are generally carried out manually, as they largely concern the visual layer, which is difficult to evaluate and verify in an automated manner.

Whether it is better to use manual tests, automatic tests, or both solutions (which is typical especially for larger projects, but is also necessary for smaller ones) will depend on the details of the project. Contact us and we will review the circumstances and advise you on what web application testing should look like in a given case.

The testing of web applications is only the first step to ensuring their full functionality. The detected errors must then be repaired and then checked whether the defect has actually been removed and whether everything is now working as it should be.

The outsourcing IT services we offer may include not only testing itself, but also, among others: technical support, assistance in expanding the application with additional functions or broadly understood consulting. An individual approach is the basis for us - regardless of the end result you want to achieve, we will certainly find the optimal solution.

A wide team of specialists includes testers and developers, as well as software engineers, system architects and scrum masters. Cooperation with experienced graphic designers and UI/UX experts ensures high quality of the application, both in terms of backend and frontend.
