Ajax is asynchronous java script and xml. It is the combination of one or more technology used to create interactive web applications for the internet. This application is popularized by google. The intuitive applications such a google search box and gmail applications are developed based on this technology. When you type a text in the google search box, you might see the key word suggestion pop-up feature. This is one of the simple examples of using Ajax technology; it retrieves the data from the server asynchronously without changing the current page. Interactive dynamic web pages created by Ajax technology provide more lively experience in the internet. Ajax is not a stand along application. It is a group of technologies that includes, HTML, CMS for mark up and style sheets, DOM Accessed with Javascript and xml Http request (XHR). The common benefits of using AJAX scripts are; it reduces the reload of common content on every request. It drastically reduced the bandwidth usage and server load time. The most challenging part of AJAX is the availability of source code. When compared to other HTML applications, the source code is not secured in AJAX. The hackers can easily tamper everything about your website and process and be a threat to your business. Some strategies commonly adopted to ensure security is disabling the right click option in the website and using code compression technique. Some of the security measures adopted starts from the coding. Secure coding practice reduces the risk considerably. Build a page with different parameters on each page. It is usual practice to include detailed comments in programming. However, when you start to place comments for source codes, it is easy for hackers to know. It is better not to create source code with comments. If needed build another copy of the source code with comments. Use Ajax proxy to bypass the server request when an application tries to penetrate the program. It avoids different applications accessing the Ajax proxy. Some hackers insert additional programs in their uploaded video or images to redirect the information. This method is known as cross scripting (xss). By creating an input value checker, you can prevent cross scripting in AJAX. Do not use dynamic code generators. It is easy to create as well as easy to hack. Use iframe to differentiate the content from external sources. Ajax complicates the whole testing methodologies because of its asynchronous nature. It can make multiple communications with the server in the background even when it appears static to the user. This behavior may be difficult for the tester to evaluate all the possibilities of the static page. You cannot find any visible links or buttons in the AJAX page. Application may send periodic request to the server to get updated information. But it is difficult to test the background process. Have a freelance job?
