How to test your Magento 2 website?

Testing is one of the most important things that you should do before launching your Magento 2 store. So here is a short guide on how to test every page of your Magento 2 website.

Design

First of all, you need to check the design on your website. Go to each page and make sure that all elements are placed according to the design layout. Also, you can make the Pixel Perfect test.

Links and buttons

Next, check all the links and buttons that you have on each page: logo link, header links, footer links, etc. Make sure that they are clickable and lead to the needed page. For buttons, you need to ensure that hover effects are working correctly.

Banners

Then test all your buttons. Try to enable and disable them, change or remove an image, change the text. Don’t forget to check the links.

Search

Now, go to the search bar and test the following points:

the search button;
input validation;
search logic.

Header and navigation

If you use a sticky header, make sure that all the elements are displayed correctly when you scroll the page.

Go to a category page, and review the sorting logic, change the number of products shown on a page, test your filters.

Cart and checkout
