To effectively test your eCommerce site, follow these steps:

  1. Functional Testing: Ensure all features work, including product search, filters, cart, checkout, and payment methods.
  2. Cross-Browser Testing: Test on popular browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) to ensure compatibility.
  3. Mobile Responsiveness: Check your site’s usability on mobile devices and tablets.
  4. Load and Performance Testing: Test site speed and behavior under heavy traffic.
  5. Security Testing: Check for vulnerabilities like SQL injection or weak SSL certificates.
  6. Usability Testing: Gather feedback from real users to improve navigation and UX.
  7. Integration Testing: Ensure third-party apps and services (e.g., payment gateways) work seamlessly.
  8. Content Testing: Review product descriptions, images, and links for accuracy.

Backup and Recovery Testing: Confirm your data backup systems work.
