Tips for Breaking Websites (testing)

[zachmullin]

Looking for methods to hunt out bugs in my website. I've done all the clicking around, looking for some other methods.  Preferably testing from the client side of things.

low memory testing

high cpu usage

low network speed testing

try loading your website on very outdated browsers

any phone bowser

tor?

Different zoom/dpi combinations. Thats how I've tested these forums during alpha/beta. Also rare mobile browsers like Dolphin.

 

And if you want website to be accessible for all, make sure every link and image has alt-text with actual meaning. Not just saying something like link1.html etc.

Thanks.  The DPI idea especially is a good one.

If your site has communications or server transactions testing for injection is also very important.
