System Development Cycle - Testing

The Testing

Prior to making the website live, it will need to be comprehensively tested to ensure:-

  • each web page operates correctly in isolation
  • the groups of web pages supporting each process (eg user registration) operate correctly together
  • all external links are correct
  • the website operates correctly in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Netscape browsers
  • Additionally the website will need to be checked for:-

  • accuracy of content, prices, references etc
  • correctness of spelling and grammar
  • that all content (text and images) is either original or is used with the permission of copyright owner
  • all content is consistent with the website rating - eg a "safe for kids" rated website should have no content, images, links or adverts which are not "safe for kids".
