When developing a website, a lot of fancy terms and acronyms get thrown around. One of these terms is QA and UAT. But what are these things? What are they supposed to do to help a company create a truly great digital experience? Why do you need to make doubly sure you conduct both as you redesign and develop your website?
To put it plainly, Quality Assurance (QA) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) are how we make sure everything works the way it should after we’ve gone through the process of content design, user experience (UX), content design, image selection, and (in our case) Webflow build. Here’s a little breakdown:
We use a variety of easy-to-understand markup tools, lots of caffeine, and the focused time of our most fastidious minds to QA our sites at Edgar Allan. We want things to be pixel-perfect by the time they get to you, so you can spend less time in UAT than you might if we’d just handed things over without doing our diligence.
You’d probably like to hear more about the details of how this works. Here are some more general, robot-assisted things to gnaw on:
At Edgar Allan, we understand the importance of QA and UAT, and we offer comprehensive UAT services to help our clients deliver high-quality websites that meet their users' needs.
Our QA and UAT process is designed to identify any issues or bugs that may impact the website's performance or usability. We work closely with our clients to understand their requirements and create test scenarios that simulate real-world use cases. The Edgar Allan team then executes these scenarios and reports any bugs or issues that they encounter.
QA is making sure that a built product (in our case, usually either a website or an app) is accurate, accessible, correctly built, and correctly rendered, and all content is represented to ensure the integrity of the build. The build should be able to pass all internal QA with 90-95% completion, across all viewports, devices, browsers, and operating systems before it is ever even considered for UAT.
UAT is when the user — or the client — gets to proof the build. This step happens after QA, once it’s been internally reviewed and perfected.
At Edgar Allan we use a variety of testing techniques, including manual testing and automated testing, to ensure that the website is thoroughly tested and meets the highest quality standards.
We also understand that time is of the essence, and our QA and UAT process is designed to be efficient and effective. We work closely with our clients to ensure that QA and UAT are completed within the project timeline, providing regular updates on the testing progress.
QA and UAT are crucial steps in the website development process, and it's important to ensure that the build meets end-user and client requirements and expectations. Edgar Allan offers comprehensive UAT services that are designed to identify any issues or bugs that may impact the website's performance or usability. Our QA and UAT process is efficient and effective.
