Guidelines for testing a web site

[hoangvu]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to web development. I'm currently working to put up my own web site. I realize that it's good to test your web site so that you'd be able not just to polish it, but also to find out some possible problems that exist or may arise.

In relation to this, I'm going to need the help of those who have a relevant knowledge in web development.

Can you give a tip or guidelines on how to test a web site?

Thank for sharing your knowledge

There are many aspects on which testing depend. You can apply any type of testing on your website. If in your web site many user work at same time, then you should go for performance testing like loading time testing, volume testing, stress testing. You can check your website's design; it should be good and more interactive with user. Functionality of your web site should be check before publish.

1)Test cookies and Java scripts that should be enabled or blocked
2)Graphical User Interface (GUI) check:

Font size and color.
Cursor or mouse focus.
Location of buttons , images, symbols and logos.
Scrolling: Avoid long scrolling.
Consistent design.
Dark colors should be avoided.
3)Test navigation:

If menu is provided then check for its consistency in entire website.
Check for navigation using keyboard and shortcuts.
4)Check for design and GUI issues on multiple platform and for different screen resolutions.
Test on different browsers and its versions like IE 6, IE8, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.

The first step in testing a software or a website is to do static testing means verifying various requirement documents like CRS, SRS. If you see the working of any s/w company they always start with document verification before going to validate the website/software because maximum defects occurs in the requirement phase.
