| I do hope you're kidding. You test software (any software, including web apps) to ensure (1) that the application is doing what it's supposed to do, and (2) that it does not interact with other software or systems in "unexpected ways" (i.e. crash someone's computer). If you have the time and resources, you should test under all possible operating conditions (i.e. various browsers, OS types and platforms). Ideally, you should also have someone who didn't develop the application try to "break" it - by using it in ways you didn't think about when you were writing it. |
