Stage 3 - Testing the web site

testing Even the simplest static website requires serious testing to ensure cross-browser compatibility (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Konquerer etc.) and cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix).

Also, information accessibility is tested – important information should never be more than two clicks away in a large site, and one in a small site. Consequently the information architecture may need to be changed.

In more complex data-driven applications, bugs will have to be sought out and dealt with.
