📄 QA & Testing

QA & Testing

Objective: To perform a rigorous, multi-layered "Stress Test" of the site to ensure 100% functional integrity, high-speed performance, and legal accessibility compliance.

Step 1: Functional "User Journey" Stress Test

  • Action: Lead Dev executes a full end-to-end audit of all conversion paths.

  • Task:

    • If E-commerce: Place a real order using a test payment method. Verify that stock levels deduct, tax is calculated correctly, and order confirmation emails are received.

    • Id Service-Based: Submit every form on the site. Verify that the data maps correctly to the Odoo CRM/Shopify customer list and triggers the correct "Thank You" page/workflow.

    • Test every button, link, and accordion to ensure there are zero "dead ends."

Step 2: Responsive & Cross-Browser Audit

  • Action: Designer and Lead Dev perform a visual consistency check across multiple environments.

  • Task: 

    • Test on the "Big Three" browsers: Chrome, Safari, and Edge.

    • Test on actual mobile devices (iOS and Android). Verify that the "Trust Layer" doesn't break, text is readable, and touch-targets are thumb-friendly.

    • If an element shifts or overlaps on mobile that wasn't in the Adobe XD design, Frontedn Dev must fix the CSS before moving to Step 3.

Step 3: Performance & Core Web Vitals Optimization

  • Action: Lead Dev runs the site through Google PageSpeed Insights and GTMetrix.

  • Task: 

    • Target a 90+ Score on Desktop and 70+ on Mobile.

    • Frontend Dev optimizes any remaining "heavy" images (converting to WebP) and Mat minifies CSS/JS or defers non-critical scripts to ensure rapid "Time to First Byte."

Step 4: ADA & Accessibility Verification

  • Action: Lead Dev performs a compliance scan using online website accessibility scanners.

  • Task: Ensure 100% pass on WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

  • Checklist: 

    • All images have descriptive Alt-Text.

    • Color contrast ratios meet legal requirements.

    • The site is navigable via keyboard (no "keyboard traps").

    • All form fields have associated labels.

Step 5: Final Handover

  • Action: Lead Dev performs a final "Pixel vs. Code" comparison to the Adobe XD prototype.

  • Outcome: MD reviews the product. If it meets the "Architect's Standard," project moves the Odoo task to Phase 06: Deployment.
