1. Browser Testing

Today’s customers use both newer and older version of browsers, so it is crucial to ensure that your website can be easily applied to all browsers. Both the designer and developer assume responsibility for this critical step. It is difficult to test every aspect of the website without the right resources. You can accomplish this implementing the following steps:

  • Apply your website on different browsers;
  • Thoroughly check your website’s functionality, content placement, videos, images, and overall look;
  • Confirm that CSS features, HTML, and JavaScript can be applied on all browsers;
  • Review your website’s compatibility with mobile apps
  • Supervise your website’s loading time on each different browser version;
  • Print the screen if your website’s appearance is twisted; and
  • Ensure you test your website on more than 12 browser versions before launching.

2. Functionality and Database Testing

It is extremely important to confirm that your website functions exactly as you intend. It is each web development firm’s goal to deliver a highly functional website. The web design world tolerates no errors, because a tiny flaw may adversely affect user experiences and negatively impact online sales. Conduct functional testing by addressing the following:

  • Remove broken links and check site search and website navigation;
  • Integrate your website with a back-end database or content management system (CMS);
  • Use self-driven functional testing to accelerate the test process—you can accomplish this by creating custom scripts that automatically test various functions and report problems;
  • Test every aspect of the website’s login, registration, and lead generation forms;
  • Test SSL certification, payment gateway, and checkout process; and
  • Ensure that your RSS feed, social media, and other third-party application program interfaces (APIs) are integrated.

An inferior website can cause a 79% decline in the probability of repeat purchases.
