Types of Testing for a Website
Website testing ensures that a website functions correctly, is secure, and provides a good user experience. Here are the main types of website testing:
1️⃣ Functional Testing
✅ Checks if the website's features work as expected.
Includes:
- Unit Testing: Tests individual components (e.g., login form).
- Integration Testing: Ensures different parts work together (e.g., login + dashboard).
- Regression Testing: Checks if new changes break existing features.
- Smoke Testing: Quick tests to verify if the main features work after deployment.
📌 Example: Testing user registration, login, search, and checkout processes.
2️⃣ Performance Testing
✅ Ensures the website runs smoothly under different conditions.
Includes:
- Load Testing: Checks how the website handles traffic (e.g., 1000 users at once).
- Stress Testing: Pushes the website beyond its limits to see when it fails.
- Scalability Testing: Tests if the website can handle growth in users or data.
📌 Example: Testing how quickly a page loads when many users visit at the same time.
