Testing : First Step To Be Done Before You Go Live With Website
ďƒ˜ One of the things important as a web designer is testing the site, if the site is omitted, the chances are that audience will see a totally different design than what has been envisioned by the designer. ďƒ˜ Although, the designing is still more important than testing. Hence, it is important to know the theory and should stay up to date with the best practices about testing.
When to Test?
Test ďƒ˜ The design should not be tested too early, the designer should at least wait till the whole design is complete and when the client is happy with the design. Testing too early will make no sense, as the designer will have to test the site again on its completion and will only be a waste of time. ďƒ˜ Ensure to test while the initial implementation or when a client requires a change in something.
What to Test?
There should be a predefined list of browsers to test the site against. Doing so will give a set of goals for performing quality checks on the implementation of the design. Few customers will have their own requirements for testing, these can be added to the list to be more accurate. Designers will have to fulfill the client’s expectations and if still left unsure, here are a few suggestions to take into account.
It is important to make sure that all the modern browsers are covered, which could be Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Safari. Most of these browsers have a pretty decent updating system. Browsers other than IE are very consistent with their rendering between versions. Hence, for this specific reason it will be good to test against the latest one’s at the same time keeping in mind the browser compatibility, or using tools that JavaScript based to manage the compatibility.
ďƒ˜ Ensure to include all IE versions from 7 upwards, which might also require an emulator or a browser testing service. However, the good thing is that the designer would not require installing separate copies for 7 and 8, the F12 tools in IE 9 helps to emulate both these versions. ďƒ˜ Additionally, it would also be nice to test for mobile browsers, it is suggested to get the hands on testing for iOS and Android. ďƒ˜ If there is a budget crunch, it would be a good idea to test with the free Android SDK, which comes with free emulator and Xcode for the iOS simulator, however it would need a Mac to run it. Follow the above mentioned suggestions and get on with testing.
