ITAP3012 Developing Web Applications Tutorial - 12: Prabhjot Singh Grewal-47294

The document discusses testing strategies for a shopping cart application and an HR application. For the shopping cart application, the manager's strategy of only checking appearance and links is insufficient, as credit card transactions and accurate product details are critical functions that require thorough testing. For the HR application, parameters to measure website status could include response time for transactions to complete, system uptime, and data integrity, as clients complain of slow transactions and the site being offline often. Thorough testing of key functions and metrics like performance is needed for applications handling important tasks like payments and HR management, rather than only superficial checks, to ensure quality, security and a good user experience.

Developing Web Applications


Tutorial – 12

Prabhjot Singh Grewal- 47294


Activity 1
You are employed as the Software Analyst in a ExaTech Pvt. Ltd. The developers have
developed a Shopping cart for another client and the application should be able to process
credit card transactions and should be able to show the product details (e.g., product names,
buying quantity, the price, etc.) accurately. Your manager is a mainly from a management
background and now your team is running behind the schedule. And your manager says that
it is enough to check the appearance and working of links in the Internet application. Would
you agree with your manager with the proposed testing strategy? Justify your answer with
examples.

Choose the Right Parameters for Usability Testing


Usability and the user-experience of the web applications are of the utmost importance to keep
the visitors engaged and convert them into customers. Hence, it is important to evaluate the
usability of the applications based on most appropriate parameters.

Validate all Security Issues with Security Testing


Underestimating the significance of web application security is a ticking time bomb. Even a
single vulnerability can lead to a massive data breach that can shake even the largest of
companies down to its grounds, causing a negative impact, substantial financial consequences,
and the loss of public trust. 

Integrate Exploratory Testing in the Software Development Lifecycle


Exploratory testing reduces testing time and discovers more defects. As a regular practice in the
software testing approach, testers write and execute test cases simultaneously. When failing to
understand the shortcomings of exploratory testing, they are surrounded by more defects. 
Activity 2
Imagine you are a Test Analyst and supporting to the IT manager at ABC company to maintain
their online Human Resource Online application. Your clients are always complaining that the
transactions taking longer time to complete, and most of the time system is offline and etc.
What parameters would you measure in order to study the status of the website. Explain
why?

HR is not generally viewed as a profit center, the business case should focus on reducing
administrative and processing costs, increasing efficiencies, and improving value-added
knowledge from analytics while supporting the organization's principal business needs. To
corroborate the value of a new HRIS, quantify the cost of providing the current level of services
as well as future anticipated benefits against the new system's bottom-line impact.

When developing a business case, determine the quantity and quality of the department's
services to enable an assessment of how a new HRIS will improve existing manual processes
and deliver services more efficiently. Determine why the existing system is no longer sufficient
and identify any weaknesses in the existing system processes and functions. Investments in
integrated systems or cloud technology, while bringing HR to the technology table, must be
well positioned to contribute to the organization's bottom line.

When developing a business case for a new HRIS, address the following:

 Outline precise business problems. For example, lack of integrated systems results in


poor data integrity and time spent reconciling information from incompatible systems.
 Clearly state the objective and the anticipated results. For example, purchase, install
and implement a state-of-the-art system that will upgrade HR's quality of service
through efficiency and better information.
 Specify any current HRIS issues. For example, the department has outgrown the current
HRIS, which does not run the latest software and is incompatible with other systems.
 List all other available options or alternatives. For example, remain with the current
HRIS, upgrade individual systems, or outsource some or all HR services.
 Provide clear goals and objectives. For example, use assessments of delivery value
analysis to determine necessary functions and results.
 Include a summary of the current cost for HR service delivery.
 Determine the expected rate of ROI upon implementation.
Activity 3 & 4
In this activity you will learn to host static web pages using GitHub. Use the following
instructions and host your static websites developed during Tutorial 2 and Tutorial 3 on
GitHub pages.
