If you read our article yesterday, you know the do’s and don’ts of website testing and know almost what to do before showing a web design to a customer.

How to test a website
Test the creation of logical relationships between site components
After entering the test information and fixing the appearance and coding problems at this stage, it is necessary for the tester to test it step by step to ensure the ability of users to use the sections and facilities of the site. He must also ensure that the user can easily access the content or perform operations on the website.
It is better to check the appearance of the site when testing it, so that in case of any problems during the work, the problems will be solved.
Test after completion of the task management panel
After the coding of the admin panel is complete, it is necessary to test the performance of the panel sections to correct the performance of the sections, eliminate additional features and optimize the panel sections.
Improper analysis of web design project
Sometimes programmers codify or modify a section over and over again due to a lack of proper analysis of the project or a misunderstanding of its features.
If the coder due to forgetfulness and due to incomplete correction of related sections causes the performance of other sections to fail, it will make the testing of the website more difficult; Because it is necessary to test the whole website for each change. In small projects it may take you half an hour, but in large projects it will be a painful tragedy.
Worst scenario
The worst case scenario is when you have finished coding the section and then with the help of testers or the customer’s point of view, you realize that this is not what the customer wants. At this time, if the function of this section is related to several different sections of the site, it is necessary to modify all the main sections and related sections.
Before doing the project, have a good understanding of the sections and features of the website. If you are a project analyst and you are also programming, try to have a good understanding of the features and how to implement them.
Ask questions
If someone else is analyzing the project for you, try to understand the sections and possibilities of the work. Ask questions as you work, and if you are unsure, talk to an analyst about the job before you do it. It is true that this will make your coding time longer, but it will also make it much less likely that you will do something again.
If necessary, write down the related sections on a piece of paper so that you can refer to your note if you forget to review it. Use the phone if you have limitations for holding multiple sessions or find it time consuming and a waste of time, you can call the customer over and over again to get an understanding of the work. Repeatedly puts you at the expense of being consistent so do not be afraid of this issue and their judgments.
Failure to perform the initial test by the programmer and web designer
Sometimes when you visit the website for testing, you will notice that some sections are not programmed properly or have been programmed with great difficulty. The reason is that the programmer did not refer to this section for testing after finishing the programming, and postponed this task to another time, thinking that the tester would refer to this section later. He thinks that if necessary and if there is a problem, the tester informs the programmer.
In programming after the programmer test, it is better to use another person as a tester for the next test. The coder is obliged to test the programmed part or part during the coding and after this initial test, it is available to other people or testers. Always the second person who has less technical vision than the work can better check the site and find software and operational defects in the site.
