	Web, e-Commerce Testing Projects

The testing of web applications and e-Commerce systems is typically performed remotely. It is the specificity and to some extent the elaboration of this type of projects. Indeed, it is required to verify the work with such external modules as payment systems (WebMoney, PayPal), check the system behaviour with multiple concurrent connections, etc.

For a high grade testing of Web systems, we use a set of field proven methods and approaches: various means of Internet connection establishment, different ways of load testing, fast verification of Internet-links and finding broken links, etc. (see also Know-how page).

Web systems have their specific requirements to GUI, i.e. the way web sites should operate at the level of system-user interaction. We are always ready to share our experience in this domain with our customers and suggest them a better solution if anything in the Web-applications does not correspond to these standards.

Knowing of 'popular' bottlenecks in Web applications enables us to accurately plan the testing process and provide projects estimates close to actual resources requirements. This all forms hard ground for delivery on time and within the budget.

Description	Our task was to restructure the site with preservation of the products of the customer. The site uses the commercial product xCart as an e-Shop. Our specialists had to examine the xCart information structure with the aim of its further displaying on the site. The task was complicated by the fact that xCart didn't work with our country and we could not get the initial code of the shop for a long time. We had to work with screenshots sent to us by our American colleagues in order to get the source data and documentation. However, we have completed the task successfully according to all the terms of the client.
