Outsource Website QA

Quality Assurance is a very essential step in any production process. Without it the quality of outputs can not be checked thoroughly before being released to the market. In the web development process, quality assurance checking of a website is done not just before a site goes live, but during intervals to make sure the site continues to deliver online services smoothly and does not generate errors in processing purchases and form submissions.

Website QA can not be performed without first creating a checklist for QA people to follow through for systematic check-up. Each QA session requires repetition of the various site processes, such as signups, purchasing, posting and email sending.

However, despite the simplicity of the QA task, this job often requires patience and attention to detail. A peron who does website QA checks must be patient enough to go through each process repeatedly even when he or she did not encounter any error in the first cycle. It is possible the error can be found after several cycles and the system messes up when it meets too many signups at the same time or when there are too many items in the shopping cart.

Because repetition is also essential a person doing QA on a website should have an extraordinary attention to detail. Each step or each portion of the site must be checked. Other QA tasks would involve grammar and spell checking and link checking. A sotware can be used to check the links on a site, but grammar and spell checking for articles will require a person to read the content thoroughly and edit the copy manually either through an admin user panel or through the database.

On the backend side of a site such as database management and coding, programmers and site admins can do the website QA from their end. Each one makes sure the code works as it supposed to so the site functions as expected. Sometimes technical QA will also include version checking for additional functions.

Website QA is important but time consuming because of the repetition and detail checking. Doing this by your self is okay since it assures you that you have checked your site for possible errors thoroughly. But what if you don’t have the luxury of time? Will you still be able to check your site for quality without neglecting some parts of the process? Cutting corners is a very tempting option.

To counter such concerns a website owner can choose to outsource website QA checking. Paying someone else to check your site can be daunting since you will be entrusting it to a stranger.
