Here are some helpful terms that explain some of the testings we perform for our client’s websites at Running Robots during Phase 5 (Testing) of Our Process.
9 Important Terms To Know For Website Testing
Internal Links:
These links direct users to pages on the same website. This testing ensures the internal links direct the user to the expected page.
External Links:
These links direct users to the pages of external websites. This testing ensures the external links direct the user to the expected website pages. It also ensures they will open in a new tab.
Email Links:
If the user clicks on the email listed in the text, the link will open the default email client and should open with the “To” address pre-filled. This testing ensures all email links are working properly.
Broken Links:
Such links do not direct users to any internal or external pages, This will cause a 404-page error on the site. This testing ensures all broken links are removed.
Web Forms Testing:
One of the most important types of test. This test ensures consistency and checks for the required input and output controls. This testing also ensures the customer data is captured properly and clients are not lost due to improperly functioning forms.
Software Performance Testing:
Used to determine the attributes of the system, such as responsiveness, speed, scalability, and stability under a variety of load conditions. This will determine the response time, which refers to the time it takes the server to reply after a request is sent from a client’s machine.
Compatibility Testing:
Ensures the web pages are properly rendering on different browsers and verifies the website is working properly on different operating systems.
-test compatibility on major browsers (we design in Google Chrome)
-test compatibility on Mac and PC operating systems
-test different screen resolutions
Web Security Testing:
Eliminates vulnerabilities or weaknesses of the website. The main objective is to find the vulnerabilities of the system and determine that its data and resources are protected from intruders.
-penetration testing
-password cracking
-URL manipulation
-SQL injection
-cross-site scripting (XSS)
Responsiveness Review:
One review focused on making sure your site can be easily navigated on mobile devices and tablets. Making sure a website is mobile and tablet-friendly is crucial because websites are now accessed from several different devices rather than just your desktop.
