Testing Applications on the Web
by Hung Q. Nguyen, Bob Johnson, Michael Hackett and Robert Johnson
With Internet applications spreading like wildfire, the field of Software Testing is increasingly challenged by the brave new networked world of e-business. Software engineers have developed sophisticated test methodologies over the years, but they are inadequate for web-based software. Distributed applications have different performance goals from those of desktop applications, and require networking know-how on the part of the tester.
