The developer tests the site in several stages. The more complex the project, the more time is required for testing and debugging. The main stages of testing are:
- Preparatory work, which includes analyzing the TOR, studying final layouts and making a plan for testing the site.
- Functional testing, which includes checking the operation of mandatory functions, the speed of downloading files to the server.
- Testing of layout, which checks the location of elements, optimization of graphical information, code validity.
- Usability testing, i.e. evaluation of resource usability for users with different levels of skills and abilities.
- Security testing, which is a check of the protection of critical pages from external influence.
- Performance testing, which helps to determine the speed of the service during the influx of traffic.
- In addition, there are font checks, 404 errors, and a search for broken links.
SEO-promotion is a set of measures aimed at increasing the visibility of the site in search engines for certain user queries. There are conditionally two directions of optimization methods, but only with comprehensive optimization the site can really be in the top rendition of search engines.
Internal optimization
This is what can be done on the site itself to improve its position in the search engine rankings. This is the elimination of problems with indexing, linking, i.e. linking pages with hyperlinks, writing quality content, improving loading, adaptation for mobile devices.
External optimization
This is something that can be done off-site to increase relevancy. Search engines consider all sites according to this criterion. The main methods: registration in profile catalogs, exchange of links, placement of articles on other resources, representation in social networks. These are methods that will help the site to take the first positions in the Google and Yandex rendition.
Special attention should be paid to content. This is a handy tool for optimizing the site, including text content, images, audio and video materials, flash-banners.
Content-filling predetermines how successful will be the promotion of the resource among users. Therefore, the requirements for content include uniqueness of texts, usefulness, competent presentation and design, compliance with the requests of search engines.
Edits
Making and discussing edits is an important stage of site development. The developer shows the final product to the client, and the client checks it: tests buttons, evaluates the design and logic of information presentation. It often happens that the customer can see that somewhere a line has moved off, the distance between banners is not kept or there is a non-working link. The client passes all his comments to the developer and they are finalized.
It is difficult to test all the functions of the site at once during its transfer to the customer. That’s why WebCase provides customers with 6 months warranty. During this time, if the customer encounters any error, we will eliminate it for free.
Difficulties that may arise at the stage of website development
Development of web sites, the implementation of which may encounter various obstacles. Even the systematic passage of all stages of site development in order can not protect against failures, the occurrence of which is not always possible to foresee in advance. Therefore, many difficulties have to deal with many in the process of their occurrence. For example, may be found noticeable problems with performance or the system is not able to withstand the planned number of simultaneous visits. Sometimes the connection to the API does not go smoothly.
Each of these obstacles can seriously slow down the launch of the system, and that is why our company’s work is organized in such a way that a dozen and a half teams are specially allocated to ensure that any urgent task can be solved quickly and with minimal worry for the client.
