Web Testing

Here we will see some more details on web application testing with web testing test cases. Let’s have first web testing checklist. 1) Functionality Testing 2) Usability testing 3) Interface testing 4) Compatibility testing 5) Performance testing 6) Security testing 1) Functionality Testing: Test for - all the links in web pages, database connection, forms used in the web pages for submitting or getting information from user, Cookie testing. Check all the links: Test the outgoing links from all the pages from specific domain under test. Test all internal links. Test links jumping on the same pages. Test links used to send the email to admin or other users from web pages. Test to check if there are any orphan pages. Lastly in link checking, check for broken links in all above-mentioned links. Test forms in all pages: Forms are the integral part of any web site. Forms are used to get information from users and to keep interaction with them. So what should be checked on these forms? Fir

Interface Design

Font and Typography Fonts are the way your text looks on a Web page. And most Web pages have large amounts of text. When you're thinking of design, you need to think about how the text looks on a micro-level (the font glyphs, what font family, etc.) as well as the macro-level (positioning blocks of text and adjusting the size and shape of the text). These resources explain how to work with fonts on Web pages. How To Use Color Color is everywhere. It's how we dress up our world and how we see things. Color has meaning beyond just "red" or "blue" and color is an important design element. These color resources teach how to use color effectively in Web design Graphics and Images Graphics are the fun part of most Web pages.

Effective Web Navigation If people cannot navigate through your site, they will quickly leave. Thus, designing effective navigation on your Web site is crucial. But there are some basic things you need to do before you can start worrying about rollovers or links, images or flash. Information Architecture Before you can even start to plan your navigation, you need to define your site's information architecture. Information architecture is the taxonomy or structure of your Web site. Some common taxonomy elements on a corporate or business Web page are: · Products - the products or services the company sells · About - information about the company · Investor Relations - information specific to investors · Support - help for customers Some common taxonomy elements on a personal Web page are: · About Me - information about the page author · Favorite Links - links that the author likes · Friends and

Principle Web Design

The basic principles of design are true for Web design as well as other design. They show you how to put together design elements in an effective manner. Design is more than just slapping HTML tags up onto a page, and using these principles will help you build more pleasing and useful designs. Balance Balance is the distribution of heavy and light elements on the page. Larger, darker elements appear heavier in the design than smaller, lighter elements. The principle of balance shows you how to lay out your pages so that they work. Contrast When most people think of contrast, they typically think of colors or black and white. But there is more to contrast than color. You can have contrasting shapes (square vs. circle), or contrasting sizes (large vs. small), or contrasting textures (smooth vs. rough).

What is web design? Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity. The very first step in designing a Web site is to define it. And to properly define a site there are three questions that must be answered. What is the purpose of the site? Who will be visiting the site? How will the site serve the client? The answers to these questions will guide you as you construct the site. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner creating your first website or if you are an experienced webmaster and it doesn't matter if you build your website using a simple program like notepad or a WYSIWYG HTML editor like Dreamweaver - what makes the difference is your plan. You decide what to include on your website and how to present it. If you spend time thinking about your website's design before you start building it you will

Last Monday, our group already present our project..it is not complete yet..but we were needed to present our progress so far...we design our project using PBL approach. figure: PBL Concept Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional method of hands-on, active learning centered on the investigation and resolution of messy, real-world problems. There are many types of learning theories that can be implemented in your educational website: 1. Behaviorisme Behaviorism is a worldview that operates on a principle of “stimulus-response.” All behavior caused by external stimuli (operant conditioning). All behavior can be explained without the need to consider internal mental states or consciousness. 2. Cognitivisme A cognitive theory of multimedia learning based on three main assumptions: there are two separate channels (auditory and visual) for processing information; there is limited channel capacity; and that learning is an active process of filtering, selecting, organizing, and integ
