1. Testing a site: Elements to be tested
Previous pageTable of contentsNext page
Tests play an essential role in the development of a site. A test checks the behavior and usability of the site.
The main points to check in a WEBDEV site are as follows:
  • how the site works:
    sequence of pages, execution of code typed, etc.
  • appearance of the site:
    use different browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, FireFox, Edge, etc.), use different screen resolutions, resize the browser, etc.
  • Web-specific features:
    print, cookies, browser "Back" key, etc.
  • access to the site by different users:
    management of usernames and passwords, management of concurrent accesses to the data files, etc.
  • regression of a site during an update:
    validation of the changes made in a site and verification to ensure that non-modified features are still accessible.
  • load test (for a site installed on the server):
    validation of the maximum number of users who can access the site.
Remark: To determine the coverage of tests run, WEBDEV includes a "Code coverage" analysis. Code coverage is used to measure the coverage of tests run on a site. Each line of code run is considered as "tested".
Caution: The code coverage does not allow you to know if tests are successful: it only allows you to know whether a line of code has been executed.
The code coverage is used to detect the lines of code that have never been executed.
