Functional, load, and performance and security testing.
Functional testing
This type of testing involves the following:
- create/execute test suites
- report bugs
- follow up the status of the bugs until the final resolution (meaning retesting & regression testing)
- create documents & reports with the status
Functional Testing for Web Applications is a process that checks whether a web application functions as intended and verifies whether it supplies what the users expect. Aila Quality Software delivers functional software testing for web apps covering the main steps of this process:
- Step#1. Determining which kind of functions must be performed by the web application.
- Step#2. Creation of the data-in that is based on the function’s specification.
- Step#3. Detection of the corresponding output data.
- Step#4. Performance of the test case.
- Step#5. Comparison of the actual and expected results.

Load & Performance testing
Create load for sets of users & make the business scenario simulating the clicks.
Results are saved for loading time per each page & analyzed including the errors triggered (if is the case).
Load & performance testing how much importance gives to your web application quality standards?
Load & performance testing is a MUST for any website with high traffic.
Load testing measures actually time (in sec.) for the maximum number of users supported by the system accessing the website at the same time.
Performance testing measures actually time (in sec.) for the maximum number of users supported by the system navigating into the website following a specific business scenario at the same time.
Usually load & performance is done using JMeter.
There was a time when I used also Webserver Stress Tool, but is not so accurate.
In the end you obtain reports for each set of tests .csv file & other graphs with the evolution from a load increase to another so you can compare how the website evolves.
Examples of my work you can find it here:
Security testing
The website is scanned & vulnerabilities are searched. All the results with all the low, major & critical priority vulnerabilities are saved & can be analyzed.
What do you need for your company?
Besides the usual testing: functional, load & performance, regression testing is a must to insert also SQL injections & blind SQL in order to prevent the possible hacks. It must be done for every edit/text/area field. From my experience, most of the web application such insertion is producing crashes so is a vulnerability for your software to have possible to retrieve data from your database.
