Every web application that is designed needs to go through a process of testing to ensure that it is free of bugs and glitches. However, it takes a particular mindset and a special technique to carry out technical web testing effectively.

If you have been tasked with the responsibility to test a website or web application, or happen to be starting out in a career that will require you to carry out a lot of testing, this FREE online course could be exactly what you have been looking for. Software testing professionals with any level of experience will benefit immensely from this package, and all you need to get started is a computer that has access to the internet.

Containing 2.5 hours of content and more than 27 lectures in total, this course comprises a total of 7 sections – Introduction; Absolute Basics; Applications to use for testing; Modern browsers; HTTP proxies; End Notes; and the Appendix.

This free course will help you:
- Understand HTTP Proxy Basics
- Comprehend why testers should use HTTP Proxies
- Learn how to use Modern Browser Functionality for the purpose of testing

The fundamental concepts, tools, techniques, and thought processes for more technical testing are all outlined within this course. Learning to test more technically will not only help you weed out deeply embedded bugs, it will also improve your understanding of applications in general (more specifically the way they work), and equip you with the ability to investigate and subsequently minimize architectural risks.
