1. Approach on Website Testing
Ivesia has a good experience in testing websites in various domains like Media &
Entertainment, Dating, and Digital News Media. Though testing of websites requires minimal
training and knowledge about application, it requires a tester to possess the skill of testing the
site from Business user’s perspective
We consider the following aspects to QA on websites
How user friendly is the site?
Testing portion of websites which integrates the websites with network community like
facebook, Twitter etc.
How compatible is the website across various browsers?
Of course, any Typo or verbiage problem in page content
Accessing websites from iPhone using user agents or iPhone Simulator
Verifying Statistics information like – Total Number of Visits, unique visits to site, Traffic
observed in websites
Verifying confirmation emails received tested in all possible mail servers like – Thunder
Bird, Outlook, Outlook Express, browsers
Apart from testing the website from a business user perspective, we also perform code
verification like
Verifying Meta tags in HTML
Cross verifying parameter like ipos,Tile, Org used for Advertisement section placed on
Site Rails
Verify if Rotating Promos or Advertisement in all pages of websites based on CMS
(Content Management Systems)
Since websites requires frequent updates and enhancements it becomes vital to frequently
regress sites after deployment. To my experience, a vastly accessed popular websites will have
2 -3 releases in a week. When we regress the site after deployment, we consider the following
areas for regression
Identify the core/frequently accessed portion of websites
Ensure the latest implemented feature works properly
Ensure network community part like Fshare, Flike works properly
Registration and confirmation Sections

2. Along with functional issues that are found when testing sites against functional specifications,
common major issues that are captured during QA for websites are
Misalignment of Fields across browsers identified during compatibility testing
Raise of Script error that blocks popup screen especially in Internet Explorer
Since most users demand a high level of security on accessing websites, along with functional
testing we perform security testing like manual SQL injection, on all possible user input fields
and ensure no resultant pages gives hint to hackers about backend table information
Considering the drastic traffic in accessing websites, we also perform usability testing, website
load test, Performance Testing for websites along with functional and regressional testing. To
ensure there are no broken links in websites, in addition to Manual verification we also use link
validator tool like Fiddler used during Major Release in websites
