Group Session 3: Manual testing tools for web applications

Even when you test something manually you might get some help from tools. And now we are not talking about test management tools or similar. Scope also pure note-taking tools out. We are talking about browser add ons, small utility programs, services available in Internet. Be creative, pick your favourites and bring your knowledge into the session:

  • open a browser, hit a web page and start browsing
  • try to think about areas where a tool might help you if you would have to tell someone what is working and what not while your browsing
  • if you have trouble in finding any, ask for help
  • pick some of the tools and learn to use them
  • demonstrate them in the session (you can for example demo 3-5 in detail and only list the rest of your findings)
  • bring two laptops with your selection of tools installed
