What to Test in an Ecommerce Web Design



Testing an Ecommerce website requires experience and knowledge. Most ecommerce websites consist of the following major components:-
-          Home Page
-          Search and Results Page.
-          Products Page.
-          Shopping Cart / Checkout Page
-          User Login and Customer Information Page.
Of course Ecommerce Web Design is not limited to just these pages; however when performing testing on an ecommerce websites, a special emphasis is placed on them. The following text mentions the areas of an ecommerce website that require special attention when performing testing.
Testing the Shopping Cart:-
Today, a shopping cart serves as one of the most important aspects of a secure and successful ecommerce website. The Ideal shopping cart should allow customers to very conveniently add and remove items. It should also present all necessary details surrounding the transaction. Furthermore, today’s shopping carts are “intelligent”, in the sense that they remember what you purchased in the past. You should be able to conveniently add and remove products from the shopping cart.
Testing the Searching, Sorting and Filtering Capabilities:-
Visitors should be able to search products using different criteria, including:-
-          By Product.
-          By Brand
-          By Price.
-          By Features, etc.
Creating User Accounts and Logins:-
Forcing customers to create accounts before a proceeding with a purchase is often disliked and widely discouraged. A successful Ecommerce Web Design should allow customers to make purchases without creating logins. And customers who DO create logins should be treated with a smooth, effortless and secure login experience.
Payments:-
Your ecommerce website should offer different payment modes, including:-
-          Credit card.
-          Pay Pal.
-          Bank transfers.
-          Cheque, cash, etc.
Users should be able to submit their credit card information knowing that their information is in safe hands.
