You are almost there! Your data feed is imported, the basic configuration is completed, and your integration is in place. Just a few more steps until go-live.
One of the most important steps prior to go-live is FactFinder quality assurance (QA) and testing. Your Technical Consultant will QA your integration including all modules, tracking and make you aware of any topics you may wish to address before go-live.
Depending on the modules you have selected, our Technical Consultants will conduct a QA using a detailed checklist and will generate a comprehensive report outlining their findings and recommendations.
What will be tested?
The testing process is primarily centered around two key aspects:
Does the web shop frontend display the same search results as the FactFinder UI?
Is the technical integration set up correctly, e.g., are all parameters correct.
When will it be tested?
As soon as you let us know that we can start with the QA, we will plan the testing accordingly.
What can you do to speed up the process?
Naturally, it greatly accelerates the process if you and/or your integration partner perform a quality assurance (QA) assessment prior to granting us the approval for testing.
The following checklist provides you examples of some testing 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 the typical use cases that are usually tested. If you are interested in conducting a more comprehensive quality assurance (QA) process on your own, you can contact our Technical Consultants, and they will be happy to provide assistance and guidance.
After QA
Once the quality assurance (QA) process is completed, you will receive a comprehensive report that will inform you whether you are ready for the go-live phase or if there are any outstanding issues that need to be addressed.
