UI Testing

User interface (UI) testing requires testers to ensure that all buttons, forms, labels, and other objects on the screen function as expected. UI testing entails inspecting displays with controls such as toolbars, colors, fonts, sizes, buttons, icons, and so on, as well as how they respond to user interaction. Simply, UI testing software allows us to see how an application, website, or programm will interact with the end-user.

What are we exactly looking for with UI tests?

Essentially, User Interface testing checks how the tested product performs based on the following criteria:

Ease of use

User Interface testing is typically done on finished goods, but I suggest including it in testing during the entire product development process.

It turns out that even a minor fault, such as a missing button or an error, might cause a major problem in the entire design. It goes without saying that fixing UI issues during development is significantly less expensive. Unfortunately, faults are frequently overlooked, forcing corporations to deal with them after the product is out, which is, unsurprisingly, massively expensive.

Important of UI Testing?

The development team may have spent a significant amount of time developing a product with sophisticated capabilities, but if there are any issues with the interface, that is all the users will remember.

In other words, if a user finds it difficult to navigate your software, even the best and most innovative functionality won’t shield you from unfavourable comments. So, in order to deliver the greatest possible user experience, never overlook UI testing types.

Checklist for UI Testing

A UI testing checklist, like any other type of test case, is always recommended to ensure a smooth user interface examination process (which can be changed and adjusted to meet the product needs). However, the following are the basic elements that are frequently tested when performing UI software testing

UX Testing

In a summary, UX testing is the process of testing various parts of the user experience in order to discover the best way for a project and its components to interact with its audience. Why are UX tests so critical? Consider the following real-world example

Consider that you own an online business that is similar to many others but offers something unique – it has an unique design or some pleasant extra features, it is AI-enabled, or it just has a unique assortment of products. But here’s where the issue arises: when working on your website, developers made a mistake, causing your navigation or buttons to malfunction. This means that your users will not be able to enjoy your store’s distinctive features, resulting in customer loss and criticisms for your brand. Furthermore, your product flaws may have an impact on your business even after the issues have been rectified. Reputational harm tends to remain. This is why you need UX testing.

Checkpoints for User Experience

Here are some things to note when doing UX tests

 

  • Navigation through the website (or application) must be easy
  • The user must have access to information about the product
  • The order placement process must be effortless
  • The performance of the site (or app) must meet user requirements

Automation & Manual UX testing

UX testing is commonly performed with the assistance of automation tools, which allow for a better knowledge of user interactions as well as the prediction of expectations about software products. Among the most popular are:

 

  • Screen activity during user sessions are automatically recorded.
  • Temperature maps
  • Questionnaires for users to evaluate the product and determine what needs to be improved
  • Product analysis of competitors

Manual UX testing is also possible. Because the key criteria of UX tests are “great method” and “common sense,” this type of testing should be performed by specialists who have already worked with similar products. Relevant experience is required so that the tester can understand the requirements for the UI elements, such as where those elements should be placed, what color they should be, and how they should change when users interact with them.

Importance of UX Testing

The requirement and frequency of UX tests are usually determined by the aims of the firm. For instance, if a corporation adds new features to its product, UX testing is required. It is also strongly advised to assess client feedback on a frequent basis using automated techniques.

UX Testing Checklist

Like with UI testing, there are many important parameters you should check while performing UX tests.

  • Navigation – throughout the site, as well as through the sub-modules including several pages (for example, Blog)
  • Header
  • Footer
  • Buttons and Calls to actions – sizes, colors, and clickable
  • Links – colors, clickable and redirects
  • Carousels
  • Content (formatting).
  • Forms – size, content, friendliness and understandability
  • Messages (informative, about errors) – colors, understandability, and compliance.
  • Additional elements – such as Back to top button, Help, Calendly.
  • Mobile version (if any) – view in landscape/portrait mode.

Both UI and UX testing are newer yet fast growing types of testing. In fact, substantial experience is not required to execute these tests. You must also keep an eye on design trends, learn how to use automation technologies, and be able to perform comprehensive data analysis on a consistent basis. UI and UX testing is not the cheapest service offered by a testing organization, and it is understandable that each business will select services based on its goals, capacities, and needs. However, no matter what your project is or what features it offers, the fundamental criterion for its evaluation (aka — success) is an appealing and convenient UI that ensures a truly outstanding user experience.
