"Testing Applications on the Web is a long-overdue and much needed guide to effectively testing web applications. The explosion of e-Commerce businesses in the last couple of years has brought new challenges to software testers. There is a great need for knowledge in this area, but little available. Nguyen's class, Testing Web Applications was the only class I could find of its kind and I was immediately able to put what I learned to use on the job. Nguyen's first book, Testing Computer Software is required reading for my entire test team, and Testing Applications on the Web will now be added to that list. Nguyen provides a combination of in-depth technical information and sound test planning strategies, presented in a way that will benefit testers in real world situations. Testing Applications on the Web is a fabulous reference and I highly recommend it to all software testers." —Debbie Goble Software Quality Control Manager SBC Services, Inc.
"Testing Applications on the Web contains a wealth of practical information. I believe that anyone involved with web testing will find this book invaluable. Hung's writing is crisp and clear, containing plenty of real-world examples to illustrate the key points. The treatment of gray-box testing is particularly insightful, both for general use, and as applied to testing web applications." —Christopher Agruss Quality Engineering Manager Discreet (a division of Autodesk)
Years ago I was looking for a book like this. Internet software must work in all kinds of configurations. How can you test them all? Which do you choose? How should you isolate the problems you find? What do you need to know about the Internet technologies being used? "Testing Applications on the Web" answers all these questions. Many test engineers will find this book to be a godsend. I do! —Bret Pettichord Editor Software Testing Hotlist
If you want to learn about testing Web applications, this book is a 'must-have'. A Web application comprises many parts - servers, browsers, and communications - all (hopefully) compatible and interacting correctly to make the right things happen. This book shows you how all these components work, what can go wrong, and what you need to do to test Web applications effectively. There are also plenty of examples and helpful checklists. I know of no other place where you can get a goldmine of information like this, and it's very clearly presented to boot! —Bob Stahl President The Testing Center
"I won't test another Web app without first referring to Testing Applications on the Web! The test design ideas are specific and would provide excellent support for any tester or test planner trying to find important problems fast. This is really one of the first testing books to cover the heuristic aspects of testing instead of getting caught up in impractical rigor. It's like climbing into the mind of a grizzled veteran of Web testing. It's nice to see a testing book that addresses a specific problem domain." —James Bach Principal Satisfice, Inc.
