Web Design and Development Testing, Evaluation & Legal
Learning Intention I will learn how to test and evaluate a website.
Website Testing When testing a website we need to check the following: website matches the design pages on the website are consistent * * fonts and colours, page layout, balance of text and other media, navigation features
Website Testing When testing a website we need to check the following: links and navigation work correctly media (text, graphics, video and audio) display/play correctly
Website Evaluation A completed website needs to be evaluated to see if it is fit for purpose. This means does it meet the Functional requirements? End-user requirements? Need to check the results of your testing too.
Website Evaluation E.g. The functional requirements included a navigation bar. My original design said the bar would run down the side of the page. I was only able to make one work across the top of the page. So my website meets the functional requirements (it has a navigation bar) but is not correct in terms of the position of the bar.

Success Criteria I can describe and give examples of what to test on a website I can evaluate a website with respect to its fitness for purpose
