Popular Web Testing Interview Questions And Answers

As the name itself defines, Web testing means testing the web applications for any potential bugs or issues, before the web application is moved to the production environment i.e. before making any web application live.

Based on web testing requirements, there are various factors that should be considered. These factors include web application securities, TCP/IP communications, the ability to handle traffic, firewalls, etc.

Web testing includes Functional testing, Usability testing, Security testing, Interface testing, Compatibility testing, Performance testing, etc., in its checklist.

Enlisted below are the most common Web Testing interview questions and answers which will guide you to get prepared for any web testing interview.

Q #1) What do you understand by web application?

Answer: Web application is a means to communicate and exchange information with customers. Unlike any desktop applications which are executed by an operating system, a web application runs on a web server and is accessed by a web browser that acts as a client.

The best example of a web application is ‘Gmail’. In Gmail, the interaction is done by an individual user and is completely independent of the others. You can send and receive information through emails and also through attachments.

You can maintain documents in a drive, maintain spreadsheets in Google docs and includes much more such features which make a user realize that they have an environment which is customized to their specific identity.

Q #2) Define a Web server.

Answer: Web server follows the client/server model where the program uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). In response to the request of an HTTP client, the webserver handles client and server-side validation and delivers the web content in the form of web pages to the users.

The browsers, such as Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc., read the files stored on the web servers and bring the information to us in the form of images and texts with the means of the internet. Any computer which hosts websites must have web servers.

Some of the leading web servers are:

• Apache
• Microsoft’s Internet Information Server (IIS)
• Java webserver
• Google web server

Q #3) Enlist some important test scenarios for testing a website.

Answer: There are many parameters that should be considered while deciding the important test scenarios for testing any website. Also, the type of website to be tested and its requirement specification plays an important role here.

Enlisted below are few important test scenarios that are applicable for testing any type of website:

• Test the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the website for verifying the consistency of the design elements and page layout.
• All page links and hyperlinks are checked for their redirection to the desired page.
• In case of presence of any forms or fields on the website, testing scenarios consist of testing with valid data, invalid data, testing with existing records as well as testing with empty records.
• Functionality testing as per the requirement specification is done.
• The performance of a website is tested under heavy loads to determine the web server response time and database query time.
• Compatibility testing is done to test the behavior of an application on a different browser and OS (operating system) combinations.
• Usability testing and Database testing is also performed as a part of test scenarios.

Q #4) What are the different configurations that have to be considered while testing a website?

Answer: Different configuration includes different browsers as well as an operating system on which a website is being tested. Browser plugins, text size, video resolution, color depth, browser setting options are also considered when we talk about configurations.

Different combinations of browsers and operating systems are used to test the compatibility of the website. Usually, the latest and the last latest versions are included. Well, these versions are usually specified in the Requirement document.

Few important browsers include:

• Internet Explorer
• Firefox
• Chrome
• Safari
• Opera

Few important Operating systems include:

• Windows
• UNIX
• LINUX
• MAC

Q #5) Is Web Application testing different from Desktop Application testing? Explain how.

Answer: Yes, enlisted below points in table explains the differences between web application and desktop application.

Web Application

Desktop Application

DefinitionWeb applications are the one which can run on any client machine having the internet connection without any installation of the execution file.Desktop applications are one which are separately installed and executed on the personal computer.

PerformanceUser actions, feedback, statistics can be easily monitored as well as data updating in one place is reflected everywhere in web application.User actions cannot be monitored as well as changes in data can be only reflected at the machine.

Connectivity
Web application can be accessed on any PC having internet connection using web browser where performance of the application depends on internet speed.Desktop application can be only accessed on specific PC where application is installed.

Security Risks

Web application is more prone to security threats as applications can be accessed by anyone on the internet.Desktop application is less prone to security threats where user can keep a check on security issues at the system level.

User data
User data is saved and accessed remotely in case of web applications.Data is stored, saved and accessed from the same machine on which application is installed.

Q #6) What is the Intranet Application?

Answer: Intranet application is a kind of private application that is deployed and run on a local LAN server and can only be accessed by the people within the organization. It uses a local network to share information.

For Example, Organization usually has an application that stores information about your attendance, holidays, upcoming celebrations within the organization or some important event or information that needs to be circulated within the organization.

Q #7) Explain the difference between Authorization and Authentication in Web testing.

Answer: The difference between Authorization and Authentication is explained in the below table:

AuthenticationAuthorization

1Authentication is the process with which the system identifies who the user is?Authorization is the process with which system identifies what user is authorized to do?

2Authentication determines the identity of the user.Authorization decides the privileges given to the user i.e. whether the user can access or manipulate features of certain program.

3There are different types of authentications, like password based, device based, etc.There are two types of authorizations, like read only and read write both.

4For example: Within an organization, each and every employee can login into an intranet application.For example: Only account manager or person in accounts department can access account section.

Q #8) What are the types of Web testing security problems?

Answer: Few web security problems include:

• Denial of Service (DOS) attack
• Buffer overflow
• Directly passing internal URL through browser address
• Viewing other stats

Q #9) Define HTTP.

Answer: HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the data transfer protocol that defines how messages are formatted and transferred over the World Wide Web. HTTP also determines the response of the actions performed by web servers and browsers.

For Example, when an URL is entered on the web browser, the HTTP command is sent to the webserver which in turn fetches the requested web browser.

Q #10) Define HTTPS.

Answer: HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. This is basically HTTP over SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for security purposes. There are always chances of eavesdrop on data being transferred between a user and the web server when the website uses HTTP protocol.

Therefore, websites use a secure way i.e. SSL encryption of data sent back and forth using HTTPS protocol. Almost all the websites that require user log-in use HTTPS protocol. For Example,  banking websites, e-commerce websites, etc.

Q #11) What are the common problems faced in Web testing?

Answer: Some of the common problems faced in web testing are enlisted below:

• Server Problem, which includes server down and server under maintenance problems.
• Database connection problem.
• Hardware and browser compatibility problems.
• Security-related problems.
• Performance and load-related problems.
• GUI (Graphical User Interface) related problems.

Q #12) What is Cookie testing?

Answer: Cookie is said to be a personalized user’s identity or information that is required to communicate between different web pages as well as track user’s navigation through the website pages. Whenever we access any website on any web browser, their respective cookie is written on the hard disk.

Cookies are used to track user sessions, displays ads, remember user’s choice while accessing any website, remember and retrieve the user’s shopping cart, track the unique number of visitors, etc.

Suppose an e-commerce site is accessible in many countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and their testing is done in India. In that case, while testing the e-commerce site for different countries in India, at first respective countries cookies is set so that actual data like time zone, etc., are accessed of that particular country.

Q #13) Define Client-side validation.

Answer: Client-side validation is the one which is basically done at the browser level where the user’s input is validated at the browser itself with no involvement of the server.

Let’s understand it with the help of an Example.

Suppose a user is entering an incorrect email format while filling a form. The browser will instantly prompt an error message to correct it before moving on to the next field. Thus every field is corrected before submitting the form.

The client-side validation is usually done by script language such as JavaScript, VBScript, HTML 5 attributes.

The two types of Client-side validation are:

• Field-level validation
• Form level validation

Q #14) What do you understand by Server-side validation?

Answer: Server-side validation occurs where the validation and processing of user requests require the response from the server. To understand it more clearly, the user’s input is being sent to the server and validation is done using server-side scripting languages such as PHP, Asp.NET, etc.

After the validation process, feedback is sent back to the client in the form of a dynamically generated web page.

When compared to the Client-Side validation process, the Server-side validation process is more secure because here application is protected against malicious attacks and users can easily bypass client-side scripting language.

Q #15) Differentiate between Static and Dynamic website.

Answer: Difference between static and dynamic websites are as follows:

Static Website

Dynamic website

Static websites are the one which gives out information only and there is no sort of interaction between the user and the website.Dynamic websites are the one where user interaction is possible between the website and user along with imparting information.

Static websites are cheapest to develop and host.Dynamic websites are more expensive to develop as well as their hosting cost is also more.

Static websites are easily loaded on client browser because of its fixed content and no database connectivity.Dynamic websites usually take the time to load on client browser because contents to display are dynamically created and retrieved using database queries.

Static websites can be created from HTML, CSS and does not require any server application language.Dynamic websites require server application language like ASP.NET, JSP, PHP to run the application on the server and display the output on the webpage.

Change in the content of the page of any static website; require being uploaded on server many times.Dynamic website provides facilities to change the page content using server application.

Q #16) What do you understand by Client-Server testing?

Answer: Client-server application is the one where the application itself gets loaded or installed on a server whereas the application EXE file is loaded on all client machines. This environment is usually used in Intranet networks.

Following tests are performed on a Client-server application:

• GUI testing on both client and server systems.
• Client-server interaction.
• The functionality of an application.
• Load and performance testing.
• Compatibility testing.

All the test cases and test scenarios used in client-server application testing is derived from the tester’s experience and requirement specifications.
