a) Navigation
It was important that I tested the navigation food my website as I needed to make sure it was easy for the user to explore the website with ease, essentially trying to create a streamline experience for the very important customer. The way I have tested this is for asking questions about using the mouse to select different pages such as "mouse click on image" then I have a section to fill in if it succeeded or failed.
b) internal and external hyperlinks
In order to test for this, I made sure that my testers clicked on all available social media links and the Royal Armouries link to make sure that they lead to the correct pages. Also as my homepage contains a lot of links on it to other areas I made sure that my test plan had all of theses outputs and imputs clearly labelled, to make sure that they work for every user.
c) page load times
As my website has a lot of images on it, to correctly illustrate the image I am trying to portray for the small machines brand. I made sure that my testers where using a variety of different web browsers and operating systems when browsing my website to test the loading times on a variety of different platforms.
d) performance of website when using different browsers
I made the testers use different browsers while they tested my website to test the performance of it, they then marked on the test plan what browser they used and if there was any problem with it. The results came back positive for all of the browsers they used
e) consistency of house style
The house style is very important, as this website is for a business that needs to seem professional and have a certain level of consistency. I made sure that the testers checked the colour scheme across the website and make sure that it is uniform on each page. I also made sure that the selected fonts were consistent across the website and products.
