Hi,

Suppose i used the url Google and press return key it display after some times. My question was how to check url? Because some of the sites display in the forums when hit the url it shown Page can't found,Why this appears even valid state.
How user can find whether url (site name) are valid or not?
Is any tools available to check ?

Thanks

There are lot of free DNS (Domain Name service) testing tools available to check the URL.

I think the page not found error comes because of the webserver doesnt have the file which you clicked from URL. Some sites are no longer in the net. You can check these sites by testing the URL in DNS test tool.

thanks

Testing the URL depends on wht type of site ur testing

There are 2 types of testing to test URL

1. Non secure URL testing(http:// sites)

2. Secure URL testing(https:// sites)

1. Non secure URL testing:

a)u want to check by pasting URL the site should come perfect.

b) while opening the site there should not be any java Error in status bar.

c) cut the URL of 3rd or 4th page of the site and paste in a new IE. it should show login page in new IE.

d) check with the cookies disabling and enabling.

e) check with combinations of'http://, WWW, without any thing entering only site name, .com,.net etc'.


2. Secure URL testing:

testing with above all u want to check

a) whether the site is registered with secured example the secured sites contain https:// etc...

Better u can do ur adoc testing on secured sites and non secured sites.
