Foreword:
Web interface testing is a testing method that verifies the functionality and user experience of a web application by simulating user interaction with it. Through web interface testing, you can ensure that web applications run normally on different browsers, operating systems, and devices, and respond to user requests and operations.
Summary:
A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything. Therefore, if we want to ensure the quality of testing, we need to build an excellent cross-shaped testing team with various types of testers. However, it is very challenging to do a good job in WEB interface testing, and often requires a dedicated person to be responsible.
Nowadays, because so-called high-tech tests such as automated testing and performance testing are more and more sought after by everyone, the difficulty of web interface testing may be infinitely reduced by some companies or institutions, and consciously relaxed by testers.
I always firmly believe that testing is a big subject, and it is very challenging to do a good job in WEB interface testing. Although the author has made some achievements in automation and software performance testing, he is far from being able to do web interface testing with ease, and will often hand it over to a more suitable person to be responsible for testing.
WEB interface testing, one of the biggest difficulties may be compatibility testing
Faced with the various browsers and versions currently on the market, how to test the compatibility of the WEB interface is a challenge. The current method summarized by the author is to install several browsers commonly used by users, and then test them one by one. When facing important pages, use the online tool Browsershots to test. The author always believes that there is a better test plan. I have also organized a test team to explore this topic in my work, but the test plan I have concluded is still unsatisfactory.
WEB interface testing, focusing on user experience
Why did it take half a year for Facebook to design a Like button? During the design process, designers were put forward many requirements, such as strictly complying with the requirements of pixel height and width, and must be easily recognized in all languages. In addition, complex excessive colors and border patterns need to be abandoned, because old browsers may not be able to support them.
An excellent software is not only reflected in the powerful functions, but the user experience plays a very important role. What does experience include? Including the comfortable and beautiful interface, friendly and smooth interaction between man and machine, so that users can have the perfect experience in using the software, thus generating trust in the software. Often to do this, the tester needs to have an understanding of the user's psychology, a deep aesthetic cultivation, concentration and care, etc.
WEB interface test, pay attention to user habits
If it is an international software, you may also need to pay attention to the user's usage habits. Different countries, different regions, users have different habits. Therefore, in order to meet the different needs of these users, the WEB interface may need to meet the user's usage habits according to differences, or to reconcile various differences. Therefore, it is necessary for someone in the test team to understand these habits and differences, and then conduct targeted tests.
The above mentioned is only the tip of the iceberg of WEB interface testing. If we want to do a good job in software testing, we may need to spend more energy and time to explore and learn. The author always believes that a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything. Therefore, if we want to ensure the quality of testing, we need to build an excellent cross-shaped testing team with various types of testers.
