Testing

Testing Strategy

This project follows a comprehensive testing approach to ensure quality and reliability:

1. Static Code Analysis

• HTML Validation: Validate HTML markup using W3C Markup Validator
• CSS Validation: Ensure CSS follows standards and best practices
• JavaScript Linting: Use ESLint for JavaScript code quality
• Accessibility Testing: Validate WCAG compliance using axe-core or similar tools

2. Cross-Browser Testing

• Test on major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
• Verify mobile responsiveness across different devices
• Check compatibility with different screen sizes and resolutions

3. Performance Testing

• Lighthouse Audits: Regular performance, accessibility, and SEO audits
• Page Speed: Monitor loading times and Core Web Vitals
• Image Optimization: Ensure images are properly compressed and sized

4. Deployment Testing

• Build Verification: Ensure the site builds successfully
• Link Checking: Verify all internal and external links work
• HTTPS Configuration: Confirm SSL/TLS is properly configured
• CDN Performance: Test content delivery and caching
