How to Develop a Test Plan for Websites

Building a test plan that works for every business process is a challenge as each works in a different way. However, if you look at the way businesses function its processes represent the miniature forms of broader machinery. Similar to the way the businesses are developed around a concept, processes also take form.

Performance testing comes when the product is already developed, and waits debugging. In other cases it may be just a step to assess the current performance of the business or website. So here we consider the product has passed through the stages of conceptualization, feasibility study, flowchart, and development. However, testing has to be carried out at every stage of development to ascertain whether the intended objective is achieved.

Key performance indicator (KPI) elements in web development would be graphical user interface design, navigation, speed of loading, and search engine optimized content.

A website should essentially reflect the underlying concept which defines the business and its processes. Formal themes go for legal, medical, business, and government websites, whereas advertising, entertainment, fine art or related websites can flaunt creative and casual tone.

Navigation

Loading speed

Search engine optimized content

A website with targeted content that addresses the user requirement and presents the firm’s products and services effectively increases chances of appearing in search. Also, the content should be strong in grammar and ideation which grips the reader’s attention.
