WEBSITE TESTING CHECKLIST
User Interface
Verify whether screen resolution been taken in to account while using browser, will the UI
resize itself as you maximize/minimize this must be tested with various screen resolutions
verify whether the number of ‘controls’ per page have been checked, generally 10 is a good
number
Where there are options to choose from, user should be forced to choose from a set of radio
buttons and the default should be pointing at default message (none, select one...Etc)
Every dropdown box should have the first choice as NONE (it could be any other meaningful
sentence such as ‘Choose one’ or ‘select’
Ensure persistency of all values, when you enter values in a form, and move on the next page
and then return to change one of the previous screen .The users must not be forced to re-enter
all the values once again, this must be checked and ensured
Horizontal scrolling is not preferable in general .Avoid using horizontal scroll bar Ensure that the
use of vertical scroll bar is judicious
Consider the use of pagination where appropriate.
Ensure that ‘shift click’ ‘control click ‘work in list boxes, clarify these features work in both
browsers
The location of buttons (OK and Cancel) should be at the right hand bottom side of a screen and
consistent.
Clarify whether encryption of the password occurs from your login page all the way to the
backend (the login page must not transmit clear –text password)
Illegal operations should give popup messages (message should be simple and clear)
positive popup messages should be displayed (submitted, deleted, updated, done and cleared)
Ensure that you have multiple check boxes when multiple selections is to be performed
Avoid long scrolling drop down list make it short

Security
Performance
Connection speed
Try with different connection speeds (14.4, 28.8, 56.6, ISDN, cable DSL, T1, T3)
Load
Perform load test as per the SLA (Service Level Agreement)
What is the estimated number of users per time period and how will it be divided over the
period
Will there be peak loads and how systems react
Can your site handle a large amount of users requesting a certain page?
Is large amount of data transferred from user?
Stress
Stress testing is done in order to actually break a site or certain features to determine how
the system reacts
Stress tests are designed to push and test system limitations and determine whether the
system recovers gracefully from crashes
Note: Hackers often stress systems by providing loads of wrong in-data until it crash and
then gain access to it during start-up
System abnormal conditions (stress testing)
o Less bandwidth of cable
o Low disk memory
o Low processor speed
