What does testing web applications entail?

Web applications, also called browser-based or online applications, are run using browsers such as Chrome or Firefox. Examples of such applications are Facebook or Netflix. Testing web applications primarily involves writing automated tests and conducting manual tests. The entire development team is involved in the testing process, especially QA specialists and developers.

// PROCESSES OF TESTING WEB APPLICATIONS

How to test web applications?

We always start testing by getting acquainted with the specification of the functionality that we need to verify. Then we check the testing guidelines usually given by QA specialists. For example, a developer, when implementing a feature, writes a unit test for it. Then it's handed over for manual tests, and after verification by a tester, automated tests are written, such as regression and integration tests. In the end, we recommend commissioning another company for penetration tests, which, among other things, check the security of our application. We repeat the entire cycle until the list of functionalities is finished!

// TESTING IN PRACTICE

Why is it worth testing applications?

For small, simple applications - both mobile and web - practice often shows that a dedicated QA team and testers are not necessary. In small applications, often the support of a manual tester, who step by step checks all functionalities, is enough. In larger projects covering dozens or more new features, the situation is completely different. Often in such projects, we create completely new modules and functions, which need to be checked for correct operation with due diligence. This is especially important when the application has complex business logic.

In large IT projects, the presence of errors is nothing unexpected - and in most cases, they do not result from programmers' ignorance, but from conflicts between the applied technological solutions. Based on our experience, we can say that using the support of a dedicated QA team is definitely profitable for the Customer. The team of testers has more experience in catching errors in applications than the programmers themselves. An additional advantage is that the testers did not create these functionalities - so in most cases, it's easier for them to look at them from a user's perspective.

Best technologies for testing web applications

In iMakeable, developers write unit tests while creating a specific functionality. Subsequently, they hand over the functionality to a tester who performs manual software testing. If the test results are positive, our QA specialist then proceeds to write automated tests. When creating subsequent functionalities, we run tests to ensure that our changes have not introduced any undesired effects in the application. At iMakeable, we like to utilize technologies such as Cypress, Mocha, Jest, Selenium, or Jasmine.

Cypress

Cypress is an end-to-end testing framework designed to ensure that web applications work as expected. Unlike many testing tools, it operates directly within the browser, offering more accurate real-world scenario testing. With a rich set of features like time-traveling ...

Mocha

Mocha is a flexible JavaScript test framework running on Node.js, making asynchronous testing simpler and more fun. Paired with assertion libraries like Chai, Mocha provides developers with the tools to write descriptive tests for both the front-end and back-end of thei...

Jest

Developed by Facebook, Jest is a zero-config JavaScript testing framework that places a strong emphasis on simplicity and support for large applications. With its delightful and easy-to-set-up testing environment, it provides features like snapshot testing, test mocking...

Jasmine

Jasmine is a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for testing JavaScript code. With a clean, clear syntax, it doesn't rely on browsers, DOM, or any JavaScript framework. This makes Jasmine both versatile and lightweight. It allows for easy asynchronous testing an...
