List and describe two challenges in testing web applications that will not arise in non-web applications.

Solution

Following are the two challenges in testing web applications that will not arise in non- web applications :

1) Server Problem : Let say if a web server is down or is under maintenance or there is any network issue, at that time web pages and all other web documents of your web application would not be displayed due to which you might face problem while testing the web application.

On the other hand, testing non-web applications doesn\'t involve any such challenge.

2) Security : Testers must be aware of the cyber threats which leads to data breaches or loss of information.Thus Security & Authentication is one of the biggest challenge while testing web applications that doesn\'t arise in non-web applications.
