Dear Zara,
Display the labels only for products within a certain price range. You just need to indicate which price to use for this option, e.g. base price, special price, etc.
Thanks.

Dear George,
Malware is rarely visible on your website; it is usually hidden in your webpage code. A malware scan by a malware detection tool can help you identify infected code. When you purchase a product that includes the Norton™ Secured Seal it will include daily malware scanning.

If malware is detected, you will be notified and directed to a list of infected pages and the code causing the problem. Your website administrator can find and delete all instances of the code and request that your site be rescanned within 24 hours.
Thanks.

Dear George,
Malware hackers look for easy targets such as a website where malware will go undetected for as long as possible. When you purchase a product that includes the Norton™ Secured Seal it will include daily malware scanning.

Posting the Norton™ Secured Seal on your website is like posting an security sign in your front window. It shows hackers that your site is scanned daily to detect malware.
Thanks.

Dear George,
Hackers are constantly developing new ways to exploit weaknesses on servers and attack websites. Once an exploit is found they access your website and add malware without your knowledge or consent.
Thanks.

Dear Goerge,
Any website is at risk. Small websites might be more vulnerable because they are less likely to have resources and expertise to detect and respond quickly to attacks. Malware may infect your customers computers when they simply browse your website. Targeting small websites with low traffic allows hackers to avoid detection longer and cause more damage.
Thanks.

Dear George,
Because of the potential damage caused by malware search engines automatically place any site found with malware on a blocked list or blacklist, excluding it from search results.

No matter how much search engine optimization is performed, if your site is blacklisted, it will not be displayed in search results. In addition, anti-virus software can detect malware and block access to infected sites.
Thanks.

Dear George,
The malware code is not visible or easily detected, and may infect your customers computers when they simply browse your website. Hackers use it to spread viruses, hijack your computer or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information.
Thanks.

Dear George,
Have you ever bought or sold an item on eBay.com or craigslist.org? If so, you have participated in consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce. People who come together to buy, sell or trade items online take part in C2C e-commerce. This type of e-commerce is the modern version of using the classified advertising section of your local newspaper or going to an auction. C2C e-commerce is a convenient way for consumers to buy and sell goods without getting in their cars and driving to a store.
Business Model
C2C e-commerce differs from a business-to-business model or a business-to-consumer model because consumers interact directly with each other. However, a business does operate the online platform on which C2C transactions take place. Typically, buyers can shop for free, but sellers sometimes have to pay a fee to list their products. Consumers often play an active role in monitoring e-commerce sites for scams and other inappropriate content.

The C2C model entails lower costs and higher profits for buyers and sellers. Sellers can store inventory in a home office, and it costs less to market and distribute products than in a traditional business-to-consumer model. Both new and used goods are sold through C2C e-commerce, and fewer middlemen are involved in the transactions. Advances in technology and ease of access to the Internet have also made it possible for a growing number of individuals to launch C2C e-commerce businesses.

Examples of C2C E-Commerce
Craigslist is one of the top websites in the world and the leading service for classified ads. Consumers can not only buy, sell and trade items, but also conduct other transactions such as housing and job searches. The site is very user-friendly, allowing consumers to register and list an item for sale within minutes. For consumers looking to make a purchase, they simply go to the ‘for sale’ category and choose the appropriate subcategory (e.g. computers, furniture, books, etc.).
Thanks.

Dear Sopna,
When we talk about Mobile Device Testing, it can be categorized broadly in two segments;

Hardware testing/Mobile testing: This is to assure the quality of mobile devices. The device including the internal processors, internal hardware, screen sizes, resolution, space or memory, camera, radio, Bluetooth, WIFI etc. This is sometimes referred to as, simple “Mobile Testing”.
Software testing/Application testing: The applications that work on mobile devices and their functionality are tested. It is called the “Mobile Application Testing” to differentiate it from the earlier method. Even in the mobile applications, there are few basic differences that are important to understand:
a) Native apps: A native application is created for use on a platform like mobile and tablets. These applications get installed on the mobile device and often delivered from the App Store.
b) Mobile web apps: Web applications as one accessed using a browser on the mobile device or server-side apps to access websites on mobile using different browsers like chrome, Firefox by connecting to a mobile network or wireless network like WIFI.
c) Hybrid apps: These are combinations of native app and web app. Hybrid embeds a browser in a native application. These also run on devices, online or offline.
Thanks.

Dear Sopna,
Performing Mobile Testing is not an easy task, as it is different and much more complex from enterprise testing and website testing. Mobile applications have a smaller footprint on the virtual machine as opposed to a desktop application. Mobile Testing needs to be performed on variety of software platform, versions, hardware, network condition and what makes it more complex are the various devices, fast changing mobile OS, the frequent introduction on new devices, and unpredictability of simulators.

Different range of mobile devices with different screen sizes and hardware configurations like hard keypad, virtual keypad (touch screen) and trackball etc.
Wide varieties of mobile devices like HTC, Samsung, Apple and Nokia.
Different mobile operating systems like Android, Symbian, Windows, Blackberry and IOS.
Different versions of operation system like iOS 5.x, iOS 6.x, BB5.x, BB6.x etc.
Different mobile network operators like GSM and CDMA.
Frequent updates – (like android- 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, iOS-5.x, 6.x) – with each update a new testing cycle is recommended to make sure no application functionality is impacted.
Thanks.

Dear Sopna,
Client Server applications run on two or more systems. It required knowledge on networking. System is installed on the server and an executable file in run of the systems/client machines in intranet. In this type of testing we test the application GUI on both the systems (server and client), we check the functionality, load, database and the interaction between client and server. In Client server testing the user needs to find out the load and performances issues and work on the code area. The test cases and test scenarios for this type of testing are derived from the requirements and experience.
The tests performed on these type of applications would be
User interface testing
Manual testing
Functionality testing
Compatibility testing
Configuration testing
Interoperability testing
Thanks.

Dear Sopna,
1) Testing Ecommerce Application’s Functionality

An ecommerce web or mobile application has four important elements in its structure, and they are:
Main Pages – Homepage, Product page, Special Offers, About Us page, Sitemap pages, Privacy Policy page, Press Releases page, etc.
Category / Product Type Pages – The product page consists of options such as product size, color, and type. There is sorting feature to filter out products based on price, model, size, etc. There is also “Add to Cart” or “Add to Wishlist” feature present in the category pages.
Product Description Page – Consists of product title, description, product images, related products, Add to Cart feature, Product comparison, additional product info, etc.
Shopping Cart – Products list view, removing product from the list, cash on delivery option, Select delivery option, card payment, pay now option, etc.
Before you conduct functionality testing, we need to understand the ecommerce website or application very well. The above mentioned features are commonly found on all ecommerce applications, yet most of them are customized as per business requirements.

2) Testing Ecommerce Application Workflow

The testing of the complete workflow of your ecommerce web/mobile application consists of:
Login and Signup options
Search functionality
Product review posting feature
Sorting feature
Applying filters for choosing desired product(s)
Add/remove functionality in the shopping cart
Check out process
Order number and invoice generation
Payment gateway and payment processing

3) Payment Gateway Functionality

Another important functionality to test is the payment gateway and you have to conduct multiple tests to ensure it functions properly and provides security while doing online transactions. Here are the checkout and payment processes that you need to test:
You need to check the product price is correct, shipping charge, VAT, discount codes all are applied and the price customer has to pay is the right amount. You can test this payment process by making changes in the final list of products, applying different discount coupon codes, choosing different region to see the change in shipping charges.
You need to check whether the payment is processed correctly, by using all kinds of payment methods such as net banking, Credit/Debit card, PayPal, etc. You can check all these using dummy accounts and demo debit/credit card numbers. Also, you need to check whether the orders are cancelled, and the payment ID sent back.
Check whether the invoice and emails generated after the payment process are sent.
You need to also ensure the refund process, email, and refund receipt all are working properly.

4) Performing Security and Vulnerability Assessments

Since ecommerce applications hold valuable information (customer’s personal and banking data) you need to conduct security testing to check for security and vulnerability issues in them. You can use testing methods like SQL Injections, ethical hacks on Login, Register, Payment gateway, and other various pages.

5) Checking Compatibility with Web Browsers

It is important for ecommerce applications to work on all types of web browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc. You need to test the browser compatibility of the application to make sure that your customers are able to use your ecommerce website without any hassle.

6) Testing for Mobile Responsiveness

Nowadays, mobile devices are taking over desktop platforms in terms of internet usage and companies are taking mobile-first approach in their ecommerce applications. You need to test the responsive design of your application in mobile devices of various screen sizes.

7) Checking Performance and SEO-related Things

Another important thing you need to test is the performance of your ecommerce website/application. You need to conduct performance testing on parameters such as webpage loading speed, throughput, data transfer rate, efficiency, uptime, database performance, website traffic load tolerance, error messages, etc.
You need to make your ecommerce website is having high search engine visibility so that you can get considerable user traffic to your site. You can do this by implement search engine optimization (SEO) on your website. You need to test whether SEO strategies such as title tags, meta-descriptions, URL structure, image alt tags, etc are implemented correctly.

8) Other Common Things to be Tested

There are other common things in your ecommerce application you need to test and they include website content, webpage format, website accessibility, cookies, social buttons, adding/deleting content, removing/adding links, web standards, analytics, and making changes to shipping settings.
Thanks.

Dear Sopna,
Web Applications are the applications which run on two or more machines. The web applications are URL driven and work on web browsers. In Web application the web application is loaded on the server machine who’s may or may not be known and there is no executable file present which need to be installed on Client Systems. These types of applications are more complex and require broad testing. The tester needs to have knowledge about how the web application is interaction with the user. It also requires knowledge on various technologies like pHp, JavaScript, debugging. The web testing is done on different browsers, different OS. The application is checked for its browser compatibility and operating system compatibility, features like functionality, back end, GUI, load testing , static page testing.

The tests performed under the web application testing would be:

User interface testing
Functionality testing
Security testing
Browser compatibility testing
Operating System compatibility testing
Load testing and performance testing, stress testing
Inter-operability testing
Storage and data volume testing
Thanks.

Dear Sopna,
The key benefits of AMP for ecommerce are fairly obvious but potentially hugely significant for retailers. Google says that “AMP is a natural fit for ecommerce because AMP makes webpages fast, and fast pages help with purchase conversions.” AMP pages on ecommerce sites could:

Improve the user experience
Increase conversion rates due to improved page load speeds
With faster load times, users are more likely to continue engaging with your website (quicker sites see lower bounce rates, increased length of time on site and higher conversion rates)
The lightning bolt tag displayed alongside results could lead to higher click-through rates as users realise more and more that they correspond to quicker loading speeds
Google’s algorithm favours faster pages, therefore better load times could improve your site’s rankings.
Thanks.
