Tools Testing Web Application

Tools untuk testing website

Apa sih pengertian testing web? 
Testing web adalah serangkaian aktifitas yang berkaitan dengan satu tujuan untuk menemukan kesalahan dalam isi, fungsi, kegunaan, kemampuan navigasi, kinerja, kapasitas, dan keamanan aplikasi berbasis web.

Kenapa sih testing web penting?
Semisalnya aja, kalau kalian pergi ke suatu web, tetapi belum apa-apa si user udah menemukan kesalahan (pastinya kesalahan dari yang punya web itu dong). Si user pasti akan move ke web lain.
Sekarang orang masih banyak yang awam akan internet dan suka percaya hal-hal 'lucu' yang orang awam lain juga kasih tahu (I'm not expert, but.. be smart guys), semisalnya aja temen gue, cuma gara-gara ada link di website tersebut yang tidak bisa men-direct halaman tersebut, temen gue langsung menyatakan website tersebut ngga bener dan move ke web lain (Akhirnya, gue jelasin). Simple as that.

Ini macam-macam testingnya :

1. Content Testing  (isi)
2. Interface Testing (antarmuka)
3. Navigation Testing (navigasi)
4. Component Testing
