Peculiarities of Magento E-Commerce Testing
Magento powers millions of online stores and is the primary point of sale system for businesses around the world. Like any complex software solution, a Magento e-shop needs to be thoroughly tested prior to launch. The CMS itself works just fine since it has been tested by the provider. However, if you decide to modify it, even just a little bit, the system can become unpredictable.
Magneto Testing with QA Madness
QA Madness has been working with Magento from the early days of the company’s existence. Our specialists help e-commerce companies optimize and streamline their online stores on the Magento, paying special attention to:
Magento Testing Challenges
It is necessary to test every Magento store from both client’s and owner’s point of view. In both cases, the two main aspects to check are platform functionality and performance – its features and speed.
To verify that the implemented features meet the requirements, QA engineers run functional testing. They check, in particular, the following things:
- Design and features of item pages.
- Searching, sorting, and filtering.
- Forms, buttons, links.
- Price generation and calculations.
- Coupon and promo code validation.
- Purchasing functionality.
- Payment gateway.
- Order management.
- Installation of extensions.
An ability to handle average, peak and extreme loads is a subject to investigate during performance testing. During this set of activities, QA engineers model different traffic conditions to make sure that a platform is ready to handle real users.
Types of Testing for Magento E-Shop
Manual and Automated E-Commerce Testing for Magento Websites
Manual
Magento Testing
QA specialists use manual testing when working with the new features. It is also the best option when software testers need to check unstable functionality, inspect a buggy platform, or test a product quickly.
Automated
Magento Testing
Automated testing comes in later – when a product already has stable core functionality. Most often, we automate smoke and regression tests meant to check the functionality after some changes.
