2. Easy to integrate with other languages
3. Supported by all browsers.

XML:

What are website testing methodologies? Your answer MUST cover browser compatibility, and website functionality

Here are a few of the basic testing techniques for web applications:

1. Functionality Testing

Make sure that all the functions within a web app are working smoothly without any technical glitches, like all the links are working properly or not, testing forms in all the pages, testing cookies, validating HTML or CSS, testing database for the security invalid inputs should give an appropriate error message.

2. Usability Testing

Application should be user-friendly and effective; its user interface should comply with the standards. Follow all the global conventions and web standards while developing a web application. Proper navigation, site map, avoid using over-crowded content and more while approaching for the usability testing.

3. Web UI Testing

Will ensure that all the individual components within a web application are connected appropriately. The interaction between servers are executed properly or not with the help of this testing method.

4.Compatibility Testing

Compatibility testing will check your website, operating system compatibility, mobile browsing and printing options.

5. Performance Testing

In this testing method, website is usually tested for its functionality on different operating system, hardware platforms and more.

6.Security Testing

It usually involves various things like testing the CAPTCHA for automates scripts logins, testing SSL for security measures.
