What Is Frontend Testing?

Frontend testing involves validating the user interface and user interactions, while backend testing focuses on server-side logic, databases, and APIs. Frontend testing ensures a seamless user experience, while backend testing verifies the functionality, security, and performance of the server-side components in software testing.

For web and mobile apps, perform frontend testing such as usability testing, responsive design testing, and cross-browser testing to ensure a seamless user experience across various devices and platforms.

Yes, GraphQL can be used in frontend testing to validate data retrieval and interactions with APIs. Testing tools like Parasoft SOAtest and Virtualize use GraphQL queries and mutations in frontend applications to allow the retrieval of data from multiple sources in a single cell.

API testing is typically considered part of backend testing. It involves validating the functionality, reliability, and security of an application’s APIs that facilitate communication between different software components.

Frontend performance testing assesses the responsiveness and speed of the user interface in web applications. It focuses on optimizing the end user experience by evaluating page load times and responsiveness.
