Software QA/Testing Technical FAQs

WHAT WILL BE TESTED ON A STATIC WEB PAGE?

1. Testing all links are working properly.
There are link checker programs that can help you verify if your links are broken
2. Test GUI design.
3. Test spelling and grammer for contents.
4. Test page fonts are consistent.
Again depending on the page, this may not be essential, but you can suggest to the designed to use a cascading style sheet to easily maintain a consistent style across pages.
5.Title bar message testing.
6.Status bar message testing.
7.Scroll bars presence at page.
8. Browser compatibility(IE and NetScape)
IE and FireFox. Ironicly, Netscape 8 has two modes now that allows you to swicth between using the gecko render engine in Firefox and the internal IE render engine that ships with every Windows OS. It's very cool and it can save you a lot of time.
9.Changing browser options of IE from Tools --> Internet Options --->
10.Advanced tab?
11.Changing font for browser and also font size for browser.
12. Changing any privacy option from Tools --> Internet Options.
13. the images are present
14. conformance to W3C standards WRT tags".
That's a pretty big topic, but I can touch on it. Every HTML document should tell the browser about the DTD that it was built using. Things like
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
Each DTD version has different standards. Some allow frames others don't, etc. You will have to learn what the DTD is supposed to use and what it's not supposed to use. Only the best web designers have the various DTDs memorised. Fortunately the W3C has made a page that will validate your pages for you at http://validator.w3.org/
After your page passes through that you will get a report that lists errors and info. While most render engines will gloss over the errors and display the page "correctly", it may cause problems further down the road when editing the page. You can discuss these things with your web designer.
