Web site testing can be called the final phase of the web development process for any website. This is the phase where the website or any other software-related product or products are tested for the presence of errors and bugs. Testing not only tracks the bugs but also helps the user to make a note of these bugs so that they are not repeated in the development of some other website in the future.
Testing is a phase in which the complete website is sent across to the self-operating testing team for evaluation. The website is tested using various testing techniques and then evaluated. The process not only assures that the website would be bug-free but also makes your website more sophisticated for your customers who visit your website. The process also obviously improves the standard of your business.
Though the process of testing differs for every product that is tested, the general process of testing a website would involve testing of the website for defaults in design, broken links in the website, content review for grammatical mistakes, alignment of the text, alignment of the whole layout, checking the reliability and functionality of the backend programming scripts and so on. Though these tests sound very simple, in fact, they demand much attention to be paid as these minor details might frustrate the website viewers when they are noticed often.
Testing is actually a chain process where its responsibility does not just end by specifying the errors and bugs but it is where the process starts. The mistakes that are noted should be attended to immediately and rectified. The corrected website would again be tested for the same errors or for the presence of new errors. Once found to be error-free, the website is said to be ready for launch.
It is true that many of the new business starters feel testing to be a phase which can be skipped for the time being, may be for various reasons like saving time or due to shortage of funds. But they do not realize that these minor errors and mistakes in their business website might cause fatal problems in the future. The website should, without fail, be tested, especially, in the case of ecommerce websites which involve money transactions. All these tests are carried out effectively and efficiently at XEL Web Design .
