Preliminary Concerns
The term “software bug” is a common term that even beginning computer users know to be a defect 
or imperfection in a software application. Software users have become accustomed to finding prob-
lems with software. Some problems have workarounds and are not severe, whereas others can be 
extremely problematic and, in some cases, costly. Sadly, as users, we have come to expect this from 
software. However, in recent years the quality of software has generally increased as software teams 
spend countless hours identifying and eliminating these problems before the software reaches the 
user. The process of identifying these bugs is known as testing.
There are many different types of testing that can be performed on your web applications, including 
functionality of the application, security, load/stress, compliance, and accessibility testing.
If you are new to testing, don’t worry: we will explain the fundamental concepts and guide you to 
the correct actions you’ll need to consider for each type of testing discipline. If you already have 
experience with testing applications, then this book will identify the key areas of the ASP.NET 
family and pair them with the correct approaches and the tools available to successfully test your 
web application.
This book is not intended to be the definitive guide to any particular type of testing, but a thorough 
overview of each type of web testing discipline. Its goal is to get you started using best practices and 
testing tools, and provide you with resources to master that particular testing
 
discipline. It’s our 
aim as authors to help the reader navigate to a section of this book and learn what and how they 
should be testing at any point in the development of a web-based application.
Although existing books cover different testing disciplines in depth, this book is unique because 
it applies today’s best testing approaches to the ASP.NET family, including WebForms, ASP.NET 
MVC Framework, Web Services, Ajax, Silverlight, and ADO.NET Data Services, ensuring that the 
key technologies relevant today are able to be tested by the reader.
