Before asking the question of what is web server testing, you should know answers for all the questions that are avilable below(google them and write them some where):

 

1. What is a Web Server?

2. Why do we use a Web Server?

3. How can we use a Web Server? to fulfil the requirement....

 

If you combine all the answers for the above three questions, you will know what need to be done to test a Webserver or an Application with a WebServer.....

Hello Mythreyi,
Web Servers are basically used to Host Websites and they can also be used for data storage . on a Web Server we basically perform Non-functional testing . for example :-- Load , Stress , Performance and if we Test for data storage that means we would do Volume testing.. etc... So Web Servers are usually tested with Automation tools... Manually they can't be tested.. The most common behaviour of a Web Server is to Accept requests from Web clients ( Browsers ) and processing the requests and give the Response back.. so most of the times Load , Performance and Stress is tested....

Hope it will help You...

@ Susheel :-- Redirecting some one to Google is not a Solution . Everyone knows that they can Google everything.. but they come here to ask a question so that they can have something different..

May be if google is word which concernd you guys, remember that today's world (IT/Non IT) persisting their profession only through it. I bet that for 90% of answers published in this social sites reference is none other than GOOGLE.....
