What to test?


Content Checking

The website has to be tested for accuracy, completeness, consistency, spelling and accessibility (Stout, 2001). These areas are the first things judged by the user. Users must have the best possible experience with your website. Even just a faulty image can create a bad impression on the user and may not visit your site again.

 Browser Compatibility :-----

There are a number of different browsers and browser options. A website has to be designed to be compatible for a majority of the browsers. This still leaves room for creativity. Even with Microsoftís Internet Explorer and Netscapeís Navigator this is an issue because of the different versions people are or still are using (Gerrard, 2000b).

 Transaction Testing

This is very critical in an e-business application. The software a website is utilizing has to be forced to invoke its various components and whether the direct and indirect interfaces work correctly. The information entered by the user should make it to the database in the proper ways. When the user calls for information contained in the database, the proper data must be returned.


Usability :

Designers should always remember that the experience of the user in their website must be as pleasant as possible. How the user interacts with the website is very important. There may be cases when the user is someone very familiar with website browsing but not necessarily a testing expert.
