No formal test process that I know of, usually I just turn the Village idiot
in the company loose on my application and see what happens :-)
Seriously though, testing software is strictly proprietary based on what the
application is built to do, but answer the following questions when testing:
1) How well does this system perform under light load, moderate load, heavy
load, whatthehell load?
2) If I enter any out of bounds information into an application (through
either form or URL variables), what will happen?
3) Any security risks that you know of? High risk tags should be secured
very tightly against any such data, aka CFFILE, CFDIRECTORY, CFREGISTRY
(please on this one!), <CFCONTENT> and others....
4) Broken links (duh)
5) Typos (duh)
6) Look and feel errors (ranging from as simple to a spellcheck to interface
or graphic looking wrong)
and on and on and on.....
In short, pick what's appropriate and go crazy....if your application is
live already, feel free to email me off-list with a URL, I love trying to
break ppl's apps and websites in my spare time and I'll charge my low rate
of 0$/hr (note this is a hobby, not a job...) :-)
