Step 08 of 09

Web Testing

Web testing verifies that the finished experience works beyond the ideal demo. I check the polished build across platforms, input methods, failure states, business workflows, and search-critical details before it moves to production.

What this stage produces

Clear outputs before the next step.

  • Current desktop and mobile browsers checked
  • Real iOS, Android, tablet, and larger-screen behavior verified
  • Accessibility, keyboard use, and reduced-motion behavior reviewed
  • Performance, forms, analytics, metadata, redirects, and crawl signals verified

Test across browsers and real devices

Layouts, navigation, content, forms, and interactions are checked across current desktop and mobile browsers, including real iOS and Android behavior.

The goal is not pixel-level sameness. It is a reliable, usable experience that respects how each platform behaves.

Check accessibility and performance

Keyboard navigation, focus visibility, semantic structure, labels, contrast, reduced motion, and common screen-reader concerns are reviewed.

Lighthouse and browser diagnostics help identify loading, rendering, scripting, and layout problems before launch.

Verify business and search-critical paths

Forms, error states, notifications, booking links, payments, analytics events, canonical URLs, metadata, structured data, sitemap entries, and permanent redirects are checked against the approved scope.

Only after those paths work reliably is the site ready for production launch and post-launch monitoring.

Adjust, retest, and check for regressions

Testing findings become specific adjustments with an owner, priority, and verification step. A correction is not complete when the code changes; it is complete when the affected path works in the conditions that exposed the problem.

Related browsers, devices, keyboard flows, forms, analytics, and search signals are checked again when a change could affect them. This catches regressions introduced during final polish.
