Every Project Needs User Interface Testing

A good User Interface is more than just a nice design and a clean layout. It's how your customers interact with your software product and its functionality.

No matter how sophisticated or well-thought-out the features are, a user cannot enjoy the functionality if the UI is broken. Tests that cover the whole user experience come with a long list of benefits for business owners and users.

UI testing

For Users

  • All features are accessible and functional.
  • Error-free layout and intuitive design.
  • Concise and accurate messages.
  • Good performance and fast response.
  • User-friendly software product.

For Business

  • Consistency in design.
  • End-product confidence.
  • Performance improvements in software.
  • Customer satisfaction.
  • Increased retention.

The importance of attention to detail in UI testing

With Testing MVP, you can be sure every last detail has been inspected. Our QA engineers design UI test cases from the perspective of a user, anticipating how that person will interact with the product after seeing it for the first time. The inspections cover every UI element.

Visual UI testing. One more performance scenario is a sudden increase in traffic. The team runs spike tests to check software reaction to short sudden large user bursts with at least twice higher traffic.

Informational components. Do tooltips and message boxes pop up where they should? Are notifications displayed?

Navigation. Can a user find the Menu easily? Is it working? Do breadcrumbs show the entire path? Are they clickable?

icon

Input controls. Are the buttons clickable? Are they linked to the correct pages? Do dropdown lists, checkboxes, toggles work?

Intuitiveness. Are the icons clear, are the text, format, font readable? Is it convenient for the user to click on the buttons?

Manual vs Automated UI Testing

Manual UI Testing

GUI testing relies primarily on manual checks. Human input comes first in all user interface tests based on visual perception. Broken layouts and mismatched links are easier to detect than their program scripts. In addition, there are anti-automation features, such as CAPTCHA, that can only be tested manually.

UI Automation

Since the slightest changes to the GUI break the scripts, some consider GUI test automation impractical. Still, UI automation is a common practice, and it's meant for stable functionality with no further changes. The correct framework and configuration allows QA engineers to increase test coverage with minimal effort.

UI Testing Goes Hand In Hand With Functional Testing

A team can avoid double work by combining these two activities. It is possible to perform functional tests before the interface is completed. However, testing UI without features is a waste of time. The QA engineer can estimate design and outline only since the UI elements are not connected to the backend features.

When UI elements and features are integrated, things often break at the seams. A QA engineer who checks UI elements connected to stubs, temporary substitutes for features to be developed, will have to check everything again once actual features are implemented. Therefore, it is advisable to order UI and functional testing services as a package.
