This type of testing allowsto analyze Web components and to checktheir compliance with determined parameters and specifications.Functionaltesting consists of the following types:HTMLsyntax checkingThere aremany html validators, which allowanalyzing the html files and checking them for compliance with existingdocument and language standards. Some ofthese validators have various functions to check spelling in html files. HTML syntax checking conforms to thechecklists of automated syntaxtesting.Checkingof linksIt is neededto scan the entire site for the presenceof broken links. This type of testing isvery similar to the testing FiniteState Machines, but without formallyconstructing a finite statemachine.FormtestingIt isintended to verify the names and types of different input variables for the forms and it is implemented with the help of different tools.This type of testing is often regardedas input domain testing.Testingof end-to-endtransactionsIt resemblesthe checking of the complete executionpaths in control flow testing.Javacomponent verificationIt is usedfor testing Java applets and other Javaapplications, which are performed on the clients side and server side correspondently.In additionto functional testing, there are many other types of testing and applicationsthat are used for testing andevaluation of Web applications:LoadtestingLoadtesting is a type of performance testing. It is aimed at studyingthe behavior of the system under the load of a certain number of concurrent users and at the establishing theboundaries of good performance atmaximum load.UsabilitytestingIt is used totest ease of use components of design, navigation and layout of the site. Using this usability testing, the emphasis is on theappearance and ease of use rather than on reliability.Browserrendering issues can cause an incorrect display the contents of the site or cause problems with delivery. For instance, some html functions aredisplayed in different browsers not inthe same way. To ensure that thesefunctions and components of graphicaluser interface are compatible with all versions of browsers we can use manual browser verification. It helps toadequately assess the graphical userinterface. Also in the case of browser rendering issues it is appropriate to test downloadtime on various browsers.There areother methods to test overall scenarios and user navigation patterns, as well as to assess the reliability of the network.For weaklybound collections of web pages it makessense to use a softwaretesting based on the models with a simple list of transactions and corresponding probabilities. Statistical testingtechniques based on such operationalprofiles or unified models are not to replace traditional testingtechniques. But it is possible to usethem partially on important or frequently used functions or components.
