Scrape Any Website (SAW) is a powerful Windows application designed to help users efficiently scrape and extract data from various websites. In this blog post, we dive into the exploratory testing of SAW, uncovering bugs, and suggesting potential improvements to enhance user experience.
Testing Approach
We performed comprehensive exploratory testing on SAW, focusing on both happy paths and edge cases to identify critical bugs, usability issues, and performance problems.
Findings
During our testing, we identified several issues:
- Application Stops Scraping Unconventionally: The application stops scraping when attempting to scrape a website, which is a critical issue that needs immediate attention.
- UI Misalignment: Resizing the application window causes UI elements to overlap and misalign, affecting usability.
- Slow Response Time: The application exhibits noticeable delays when scraping large websites, impacting performance.
Improvements
- Stability: Address the unconventional strop issue during scraping to ensure seamless data handling.
- UI Enhancements: Optimize the user interface to maintain proper alignment regardless of window size.
- Performance Optimization: Improve the response time when handling large datasets to provide a smoother user experience.
