  4. 4 Why to test a website?

  5. 5 The hard thing about improper testing A superficial testing before website launch is a highway to the product failure because it will not detect functional and layout issues in different web browsers, operating systems, and screen resolutions used by the visitors. Only detailed and complex testing will discover bugs and ensure a positive user experience. © QATestLab. All rights reserved.

  6. 6 Thorough testing by proper people Testing conducted by a development team may be unobjective and may not reflect the actual quality of a website. In digital agencies, managers perform internal website testing in a rash and overtiming, thus, they provide a limited test coverage. Having necessary skills and testing means, a QA team ensures a wide test coverage and improve the website quality. © QATestLab. All rights reserved.

  7. 7 When to test a website? Depending on the size of a website, a QA team can perform complete testing of a ready website or conduct the quality verification page by page. In order to reduce the possibility of bug detection by site visitors, website testing should include checking in both testing and live / production environments. © QATestLab. All rights reserved.

  8. 8 Things required before testing To ensure a thorough testing, it’s important to provide a QA team with testing goals, requirement specifications, mockups, description of the website structure, access to testing and production environments, if any. A QA team forms the list of web browsers and devices necessary for testing, either basing on the customer’s requirements, or by themselves, making research into target audience. © QATestLab.
