Website Cookie Testing

In my today's article, I am going to talk about web site cookie testing.

Website Cookie Testing:

The protocol used for exchanging files on the Web is stateless, but maintaining state is essential for most websites. To maintain state, one option that Web developers have is to use cookies.
This paper provides a technical background and real-world examples to help you understand how cookies work and how to test systems that employ cookies. The www.google.com website is used as a real-world example to demonstrate cookie testing techniques.

Tester can perform following operation while doing cookie testing for www.google.com website as UAT:

  • Disabling Cookies
  • Selectively Rejecting Cookies
  • Corrupting Cookies
  • Cookie Encryption
State information can be maintained in Web systems by the use of cookies. (Other methods for maintaining state include hidden form fields and embedding state data in HTML links; I recommend that web testers explore these methods as well.) Our job as testers is to find out, by talking to developers, reading system documentation or experimenting with the web site, which of these technologies are being used and to design tests accordingly.
