2. There are various queries from customers in a day regarding the working
and functionality of an app or website. That covers various aspects of the
web tool may it be security, functioning, user interface, etc. All these issues
have different reasons associated with them and have corrections
accordingly. Today we are discussing UI testing in detail in this article.
3. What is UI testing?
UI testing stands for user interface design testing, which is something related
to the testing of working of a software mechanism by UI tester so that it is
good to use for the users. All those aspects that help a software perform
better and function uninterruptedly is UI testing. It covers the visual aspects of
the software in which the test is being done. By visual aspects, we mean fonts,
color, labels, icons, size, and much more. Anything that will reflect the inputs
given by the user and the accuracy between the input and output is UI testing.
The working of all the items as specified is UI testing. In simple words, UI
testing is the way to ensure the website, application, or software is working in
the way it is good to be interacting with the end-users.
5. UI tests involve anything that helps to keep in check with the performance
and functioning of the app based on the following parameters:
● Easy to operate
● Comprehensibility
● Compatibility
● Harmonious nature
6. To simplify the concept of UI testing and ensure the accuracy of UI testing, a
user must ask a few straightforward questions to the tester which are as
follows:
1. The first and forward concern as an end-user is the ease of use of the
software?
2. The second thought is no interruption in the use of the software i.e., is
the software bug-free?
Both these factors are very basic things but can make or break the
marketing and audience of your software. A user who is very less aware or
not aware of the high-end technicalities of the software does not care about
the development process. Something that makes a difference in the end
product is how friendly it is to the user. How smooth are functions brought
out while performing any task in the software?
7. When to test the UI of your products?
Normally, perform UI testing after the launch of the product to the market.
But it’s a suggestion that UI testing should be throughout the development
of the product. By doing thorough testing of the product at every step,
minimal errors can reduce.
Give importance to the testing at the development process and not wait for
the release of the product in the market. Take feedback from skilled
professionals at regular intervals. Keeping an eye on the minute details can
keep you away from the huge problems of the future. Also correcting the
mistakes on the point can reduce the complexities of the latter case.
8. Considering the cost point of view as well mistakes recognized at the
development stage are way too cheaper. After the product release, the
correction process gets costly owing to the complexities of development,
programming, and designing. After the app is in the market if bugs are there
or any other such issue for that case a bad impression imprints on the
audience. Maybe the audience gains a perception of the errors in the web
product and does not want to use the web product even after the later
correction. So, you should go through UI testing at the development stage
then deduct the mistakes at the later stage. This little awareness will not
only save a lot of money, time but also save the fame of the web product in
the long term.
9. Importance of performing UI testing?
As the name UI testing speaks for itself that it is something related to the
user interface. So as a developer and web designer make sure you are
focusing your target on the interface of the web product. As a user only
wants something that is easy to work with. Even if the user is aware of the
hard work behind the making of the web product and the only thing that
drives user interest is how smooth the app is to function. Your app may be a
top-notch launch in the market and is with top features and working but if
there is a slight difficulty in the app use your targeted audience will turn into
a negative audience. And of course, you don’t want that to happen to your
hard work! To avoid all this nightmare, it’s a suggestion you go through UI
testing types.
10. UI testing types
There are two types of UI testing in general namely manual UI testing and
automated UI testing. Let’s begin to understand them by breaking the terms.
Manual UI testing is something related to the use of man force. Human
testers are there in this process. A human tester is to check all the
specifications and the accuracy of the app.
But a human tester is always prone to undetected or minute errors so it’s a
suggestion that you go through automated UI testing. Automated UI testing
ensures the quality and the working speed of the UI testing process. There
are various available automated testing tools in the market and browser
extensions that simplify the task for you.
11. User Interface testing checklist
A checklist helps in keeping a check on the smooth functioning of the user
interface. UI testing checklist includes the following parameters:
Font type and size
Style of the icon
Color of the text, font, background
Visual defects
12. Necessary fields
Errors of data type
Field width
Screen instructions
Indicators of the progress
Double-check or confirmation of actions like save, delete, or changes
Error message popup
Dropping lists
13. Understanding UX testing
UX testing means anything related to the user- experience while using the app.
UX testing ensures that the various features that are necessary to make a user
experience smooth are there in your app. Seamless user experience may be
anything like the slight changes in the basic design and some exciting
additional features. All these additional features include a website being AI-
enabled or something exciting with the products included.
14. But if a developer makes any mistake there might be an issue with the
navigation. If this issue occurs the user cannot access the exciting
features. This eventually makes you lose your target audience and gain
negative feedback that will exponentially affect your business. A negative
impact is something that lasts forever in the mind of the customers so it’s
a suggestion to go for UX testing.
15. The various parameters while going through UX testing
are as follows:
● Easy navigation
● Access to necessary information
● Effortless ordering process
● Performance quality meeting requirements of users
16. Manual vs Automated UX testing
UX testing is usually done with the help of Automated UX testing.
Automation tools help in a way to give a better and easy understanding of
the user expectations and behavior. Automated UX testing is easy by User
questionnaires for the product evaluation, Competitive analysis about
competitors, etc. Hire a QA tester/engineer for this purpose.
UX testing is possible manually also. Skilled professionals having past
experiences in similar work can help with this. Experience makes the whole
process easy. Taking help from a software testing company is not a bad
choice.
17. Need to perform UX testing
UX testing is fully related to the business goals. If a company is focusing on
adding some additional features so it’s a suggestion that it goes through UX
testing. Taking feedback and review is also very important if the addition of
new features is to the web product. Automated tools help in this. Software
testing services are a great help for this cause.
18. UX testing checklist
Same as UI testing while going through UX testing one should go through
the following parameters:
● Navigation throughout
● Headers
● Footers
● Color, size, all the calls to action
● Links
● Form
● Reminder messages
● Extra elements
● Mobile view
19. Final Words
The concept of UI UX test i.e., user interface and user experience testing are
both new types of testing brought out at the development level. The need
for skilled professionals and experience is necessary for this UX UI testing
to be a success. To make your app success you must not go through these
testing tools. But also, should be able to go with the development trends
and changes. Also, both these automated testing might make the work
easy for you but are not the cheapest measures. So, keep this thing in mind
and make a wise choice according to your business needs and choices.
20. Also, it’s not just the errors that make your app lag behind but the interface
also makes a big difference. So, make sure your app interface is seamless
and easy to use. Is uninterrupted (use QA tester for this case) and guided by
AI for early-stage detection of errors. Going with the trend is cool stuff to do
but keeping up with the user interface is the key to success. Make sure your
web product is delivering a great user experience and satisfying the user’s
needs.
