In very simple terms, “Web Testing is about testing and checking the web pages, the web applications for any issues, bugs, or even checking if it is working the way it was intended. This is basically carried out before the website or the web application goes live or before the backend code now moves into actual, live production mode.”

During the web testing phase what happens?

• The web tests or the final testing before a release or go live project is very critical and important.
• Testing for any possible bugs or issues in the system, checking and rechecking if all functionalities, buttons, tabs and other applications are working perfectly well as was intended when the initial design and development was initiated.
• Also, just before going live, the website or application is checked and tested by many users’ just to see it can sustain, handle and take many users’ or traffic and owing to this, it doesn’t crash or stop working.

At Nextweb the types of web testing undertaken include:
