Ten Tips for Testing Web Applications

Testing is an often under-appreciated part of the software life cycle. Timelines will shift, there will be delays with the development and the testing phase is the part the suffers. Here we have compiled a list of tips to help increase the productivity of testing and to help avoid releasing bugs into production and keep a high level of quality in the software released.
