Would you agree me if I said you don't need any extensive training or certifications to understand & perform automated testing for your websites? Yes. Across the Net there are many free web tools which are built and being campaigned to help and simplify your complex testing process of any e-commerce websites.
Consider me I'd love to do the functionality testing first which usually cover's the business logic of the system and later go on testing with the regular QA standards of the website. Those are scenarios which require lot of man effort & patience in performing regression after regressing to test broken links, spell checks, browser compatibility, mobile resolution compatibility and load testing with various variations, etc.....uhhhh
After going through lot of tech blogs and web posts I have come across these few tools which are really useful for performing such time taking boring tasks in a short span & efficiently. And I'd like to share these info with all my viewers & fellow software QA engineers.
Browsershots - Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is extremely popular and you may therefore have to wait a few minutes for this service to render screenshots of your website.
Load Impact - Load Impact is an online load testing service that lets you load- and stress test your website over the Internet.
IE NetRenderer - Allows you to check how a website is rendered by Internet Explorer 7, 6 or 5.5, as seen from a high speed data center located in Germany. Just type in a URL in the field above and try it out!!
BrowserCam - Test your web design on any browser on any operating system. Check javascripts, DHTML, forms and other dynamic functionality on any platform. Not just yours. Use our bank of testing machines remotely to test your website
Opera Simulator - To see how your website appears on the small screens of mobile phonesPingdom - It test's complete page including all objects (images, CSS, JavaScripts, RSS, Flash and frames/iframes). It mimics the way a page is loaded in a web browser and records the timing to load each object.
Firebug - You could use it in Firefox to detect elements on your web page that are increasing the load time of your web pages.
html2txt - This ensure's that screen readers can interpret your website. This is an online Lynx simulator (text-only browser) and will also help you understand how your website appears to Google spiders and other search engine bots.
Also finally validate your web pages against online HTML validation and clean-up service like the W3C HTML Validator and HTML Tidy.
