Key Elements of Ecommerce Testing Services

This is the first and most important phase of the Software Testing Life Cycle. Proper planning ensures a smooth execution phase while poor planning can lead to unwanted time consumption. That’s why, test case writing, resource allocation, etc. are some of the activities that we perform as an integral part of Test Planning
- Website Functionality
At this juncture, we run through the key functionalities of an eCommerce website that need to be tested. Some of the things that we test include:

- Performance Test
Ecommerce websites should be fast-loading and high performing so that your customers do not abandon your website and go to your competitors. Therefore, store owners should consider investing in performance testing services to make sure their eCommerce website is accessible and performing optimally even under higher load conditions.
To achieve better results, we run the test and start evaluating real-time results, check response time, the number of hits/second, the output of your eCommerce website, and the number and type of errors that occurred.
- Testing UI Elements
UI elements and content on the website are crucial for the success of any eCommerce website or application. Hence, you should get your design tested to ensure the perfection of UI elements and web content.
You should think on behalf of the customer experience that when you visit a website, are you more likely to buy something if you can find what you’re looking for easily or if you need to click through many options?
One of the most effective testing techniques to test this is A/B testing. In A/B testing, we create two versions of the same page and then analyze which one has better performance.
- Mobile Responsiveness
Your websites should perfectly open up and work on multiple devices to provide ease of shopping to your customers. Therefore, testing mobile responsiveness is a crucial part of the testing process.
If you want your website to be accessed by users on any device, you need to test all the functionalities to make it highly mobile responsive. There are various browser testing tools like Appium, AppAssist, Fast lane, etc. that help in checking mobile websites.
- Secure Online Transactions and Customer Data
An eCommerce website must ensure secure online transactions and protect customer data. A secure eCommerce website builds trust in customers and they tend to purchase items from the website.
Therefore, store owners need to invest in eCommerce testing services to ensure that all the payments and sensitive customer information are fully secured always and the payments are processed via servers that are encrypted with SSL.
If your website supports multiple payment options like Credit Card, Bank Transfers, PayPal, Installments, etc. then you need to test all of them to ensure secure payments.
- Testing In Real-world Scenarios
It is always good to test eCommerce websites or applications in real-world scenarios. However, the development environment is different based on the infrastructure, software configurations, and shared networks and links. That’s why the impact of an application is different in real devices and environments than in a production environment.
