What is Java Applet? Well, Java Applet is nothing but small applications written in Java for developing attractive web applications.

Sometimes it appears in a new window in the web page or in the appletviewer or even in a standalone frame. Anyway, it is always provides boost to the application. Though it is often written in Java but it also can be written in any other language that has the potential to compile Java bite code like Python, Pascal, JRuby etc. Java applets can run at a lightning speed like C++ hence it is extremely helpful for client side communications.

Why would companies like to have certified testers to test their projects?

Why Software testing? It will not be an overstatement if I would say testing is the key to success for any software application program or product. All that we aim to have within any software must be tested by the tester to ensure their presence and performance. In order to get a user friendly and efficient software product, we must test the product intensively before producing the same in front of the end user. Previously the testing task was performed by the manual testers but with time enterprise rely on automation testing. An automation testing tool helps in preventing all types of bugs that may be overlooked by the manual testers due to human errors. So industry is now depending upon the automation testing tools like QTP automation testing tool, Selenium automation testing tool etc.
