Assignment 2: Me Myself and I Testing

 For Testing, I tested my website with various types of testing including:

  • Functional Testing
    • Functional Testing is a testing technique that is used to test the features and functionalities of a website
  • Data Verification and Validation Testing
    • Data verification is the process of checking that the software meets the specification required
    • Validation testing is the process of checking whether the specification captures the potential target audiences needs
  • Application Specific Functional Requirements 
    • Application Specific Function Requirements testing is described as when a user inputs information to the website, how the input behaves and it's output to the user
  • Interface and Error handling testing 
    • Error handing is described as the process of responding to the occurrence, during computation and the exceptions that it may have
  • Compatibility testing 
    • Is the testing of the website to ensure that various browsers and platforms can run the website without any problems
  • User Interface usability testing
    • Is the process of ensuring the website meets it requirements and can live up to the standards for the user
  • Usability testing
    • Is when a user is given a list of tasks to perform on a website. This is to ensure that a website meets the highest standards and that the likes of navigation are tested. It is good practice to get a user of the website to do this as they will be able to confirm that they can make their way around the website without any problems, loading time is fast and overall the website is presented in a practical manner.
.

FUNCTIONALITY TESTING



Check that the link takes you to the page it said it would.


Ensure to have no orphan pages (a page that has no links to it)


Are all referenced web sites or email addresses hyperlinked?


If we have removed some of the pages from our own site, set up a custom 404 page that redirects your visitors to your home page (or a search page) when the user try to access a page that no longer exists.


Check all mailto links and whether it reaches properly

Assignment 2: Me, Myself and I Deployment Update

Upon research, I was finally able to get the map working with an API. To do this I followed these various steps:


  1. Go to the Google API Console
  2. Create a new project
  3. Click continue to enable the API 
  4. On the Credentials page, get an API Key
Once I retrieved my key I got my co-ordinates online to specify my location. I inserted my API key to my map and commit the changes through terminal. These changes worked.
