what tools will be needed for testing web applications
WebInject is a free tool for testing of web applications and services. It can be used to test any individual system component with an HTTP interface (JSP, ASP, CGI, PHP, Servlets, HTML Forms, etc), and can be used as a test harness to create a suite of [HTTP level] functional, acceptance, and regression tests.
General Testing. 1  OWASP ZAP The Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing.
Web Application Test Tools. A recent discussion on LinkedIn began with a question: âTrying to find a tool to test websites. I am evaluating QTP but have problems identifying objects on any website. I also tried Selenium IDE, but I am worried about it being just on Firefox.
In my view Selenium needs lots of programming skill. But overall its a very powerful tool to automate the web application. Apart from that I also suggest you to check TestComplete its also a very good tool for both webbased and desktop application. Absolutely Selenium needs a lot of programming skill.
