As Web applications move beyond simple HTML forms and postbacks, developers must have an effecting testing strategy to address the new capabilities. In this episode of geekSpeak, author Jeff McWherter discusses the importance of testing Web applications,
and he shares strategies for testing key aspects of Web applications, including accessibility and security. This geekSpeak is hosted by Glen Gordon
and
Jennifer Marsman.

Testing web applications is a nightmare, even simple postback sites. Ajax adds another level of complexity. Very interesting topic and certainly one to watch as applications get more complex. Load testing is another tricky area, the main issue there being able to emulate user behaviour and getting the required level of diversity into the tests, without having to spend more time creating test cases than you did coding the thing in the first place. Things like database query caching make this even more complex, as to properly test you need to ensure you are generating as many query permutations as possible. A nice solution would be have a listener on your webapp to capture real user interaction from beta tests, then use that data to emulate larger numbers for load testing.
