Join Morten Rand-Hendriksen for an in-depth discussion in this video Testing the site, part of WordPress: Workflows.
- When the site nears completion,…perform extensive testing of all features.…This is best done from the live staging server…and should be done on as many platforms,…browsers, and devices as possible.…If you followed the modern web design process,…you will have performed user testing…throughout the build process,…and now that everything is close to being done,…it's important to run a series of real user tests…with real people to ensure everything is working correctly.…Beta and user testing at this stage…will always turn up new issues and elements…that either do not work as intended…or do not make sense to the end user.…
This should be expected,…and processes for triage and resolution should be in place.…In practical terms, the easiest way to do this…is by filling Bugs and Issues in whatever project management…or Git hosting application you use for your project,…and then assign, resolve, and push the solutions…to the server on a continuous basis…until everything works properly.…The great thing here is that…even after the site goes live,…
