hello, is spTestWfe1 name added to hosts file on your PC? (with IP address of WFE1)
also does Sharepoint site use Windows authentication? SPD doesn't like e.g. FBA for Sharepoint sites
@adil
Here're some tips for you to troubleshooting the issue.
1.Go to central administration -> Manage web applications -> Select the web application -> Authentication Providers -> Under Zone, click Default to open the Edit Authentication page -> Set Enable Client Integration as Yes.
2.Check whether use default zone in the AAM.
