Explanation / Answer

(a) I have selected  Web-Based Systems testing topic

what is web-based system?

the web based sytems mainly have 3 component in it,they are-

1>client(i.e browser)

2>web server

3>database server

it is the browser that requests some information (say profile related information of user)from the web-server (of some website say chegg.com). the web-server generates the result by quering the user data from its database server(a storage) and processing it. and finally the result is handed over to the browser.

the browser runs application built in html/xml/java script.Applications for the web server are developed in Java, ASP, JSP, VBScript, JavaScript, Perl, C PHP etc.The database server will be having oracle, sql server, sybase, mysql etc.

(b) 3 best Testing practices used for web based system tesing-

1> curl loader(for load testing of website)

curl-loader has the capacity of emulating application behavior of hundreds of thousands of HTTP/HTTPS and FTP/FTPS clients, each with its own source IP-address. In contrast to other tools curl-loader is using real C-written client protocol stacks, namely, HTTP and FTPstacks of libcurl and TLS/SSL of openssl, and simulates user behavior with support for login and authentication flavors.

2> QTP(Functionality Testing)

the functionality testing is used for verifying the correct linkage of webpages with each others,cookies issues,web forms issues etc. for this QTP tool is used.

3> AlertFox(Interface Testing)

this is used to test

is that webserver is capable of handling user request efficiently?

is that webserver is capable of getting data from database server efficiently?

is that webserver is capable of communicate with browser efficiently?

AlertFox can be used as a handy tool for this purpose.it is capable of dealing with all the issues given above related to interface testing.
