FAQs

What is web application testing and why is it important?

Web application testing verifies the functionality, performance, accessibility, and overall user experience of a web application. It scrutinizes how well the application works under various conditions. With so many businesses relying on web applications for critical operations and revenue generation, ensuring a seamless user experience is paramount. Web application testing safeguards customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and protects against costly errors or downtime.

What are the types of automated testing tools for web applications?

There are several categories of automated testing tools for web applications. Traditional or legacy test automation tools often come with hefty price tags, outdated interfaces, limited cloud capabilities, and require cobbled-together integrations. Scripted test automation tools like Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright require considerable coding expertise, creating bottlenecks and slowing down testing cycles, especially for non-technical team members. Modern cloud-native test automation tools like mabl offer an innovative low-code approach powered by AI, reducing test creation and maintenance time while making testing more collaborative and accessible for diverse teams.

What do automated testing tools for web applications use behind the scenes?

Many automated testing tools rely on the Selenium framework. While Selenium is widely used, it has limitations stemming from its age and architecture. In contrast, mabl leverages the modern Playwright framework, which delivers greater test stability, speed, and enhanced cross-browser compatibility for faster, more reliable results.

What are the key challenges for web application testing?

Web application testing presents specific challenges, including diverse web technologies where testers must grapple with modern frameworks, shadow DOMs, and iframes. Additionally, user journeys frequently involve interacting with PDFs and emails, which demand specialized testing. Ensuring flawless performance across multiple browsers and devices is a complex and time-consuming task. Mabl addresses these challenges head-on, providing comprehensive web application testing support, including PDF and email validation, and robust cross-browser testing at scale.

Who should perform web app testing?

Web app testing is best achieved through a collaborative approach. Developers, software development engineers in test (SDETs), dedicated testers, product managers, and even business stakeholders all play a role in cultivating a true culture of quality.
