Testing and QA

You're almost there! Your data feed is imported, the basic configuration is complete, and your integration is in place. Just a few more steps until go-live.

One of the most important steps before go-live is FactFinder quality assurance (QA) and testing. Your Technical Consultant will QA your integration—including all modules and tracking—and highlight any topics to address before go-live.

Depending on the modules you selected, our Technical Consultants conduct QA using a detailed checklist and generate a report with findings and recommendations.

What will be tested?

The testing process is primarily centered around two key aspects:

• Does the webshop frontend display the same search results as the FactFinder UI?

• Is the technical integration set up correctly (e.g., parameters)?

When will it be tested?

As soon as you let us know we can start QA, we will schedule testing accordingly.

What can you do to speed up the process?

It greatly accelerates the process if you and/or your integration partner perform a QA assessment before granting approval for testing.

The following checklist provides examples of test scenarios:

Example test scenarios	Expected behavior	Result
Make a search	The search works and the products from the FactFinder backend match the products in the shop
Type something in suggest and compare shop result with FactFinder Backend	Suggest works and the same suggestion will be shown in the shop and in the FactFinder backend
Check paging or scrolling	Paging or "scrolling" in the result overview page is implemented and page count is displayed. Same result shown when moving to next page and back to previous one
Sorting options available	Sorting works and by default the results are sorted according to relevancy
Article Number Search - Take some article numbers and randomly check by searching for them	Only one product is found
Make search and use ASN	Filtering works. Every filter type can be selected without loss of already chosen filters

This is a brief overview of typical use cases. For a more comprehensive QA process, contact our Technical Consultants for assistance and guidance.

After QA

Once QA is completed, you will receive a report indicating whether you're ready for go-live and any outstanding issues to address.
