the user using the log in information entered by the user and exposes only the relevant

functionality and data to the user

confidential (i.e. it is not exposed to individuals/ entities for which it is not meant) and

users can perform only those tasks that they are authorized to perform (e.g. a user should

not be able to deny the functionality of the web site to other users, a user should not be

able to change the functionality of the web application in an unintended way etc.).

Some key terms used in security testing

Before we go further, it will be useful to be aware of a few terms that are frequently used in

web application security testing:

What is Vulnerability?

This is a weakness in the web application. The cause of such a weakness can be bugs in

the application, an injection (SQL/ script code) or the presence of viruses.

7 basic tips for testing multi-lingual web sites July 23rd, 2008 Testing Skill Improvement , Testing Tips and resources , Web Testing

This is a guest article by: Inder P Singh

These days a number of web sites are deployed in multiple languages. As companies

perform more and more business in other countries, the number of such global multi-lingual

web applications will continue to increase.

Testing web sites supporting multiple languages has its own fair share of challenges. In this

article, I will share seven tips with you that will enable you to test the multi-lingual

browser-based applications in a complete way:

Tip # 1 Prepare and use the required test environment

If a web site is hosted in English and Japanese languages, it is not enough to simply change

the default browser language and perform identical tests in both the languages. Depending

on its implementation, a web site may figure out the correct language for its interface from

the browser language setting, the regional and language settings of the machine, a

configuration in the web application or other factors. Therefore, in order to perform a

realistic test, it is imperative that the web site be tested from two machines one with the

English operating system and one with the Japanese operating system. You might want to

keep the default settings on each machine since many users do not change the default

settings on their machines.

Tip # 7 Be aware of cultural issues

A challenge in testing multi-lingual web sites is that each language might be meant for

users from a particular culture. Many things such as preferred (and not preferred) colors,

text direction (this can be left to right, right to left or top to bottom), format of

salutations and addresses, measures, currency etc. are different in different cultures.

Not only should the other language version of the web site provide correct translations,

other elements of the user interface e.g. text direction, currency symbol, date format etc.

should also be correct.

As you might have gathered from the tips given above, using the correct test

environment and acquiring correct translations is critical in performing a successful test

of other language versions of a web site.

It would be interesting to know your experience on testing multi-language websites.
