I was surprised by the amount of favorable comments that were submitted. Also, because I'm doing the PM, IMD & Designer roles, that included the: Client Testing Form User Testing Form Equipment Testing Form This took quite a bit of time.

I learned a lot about the testing process through this assignment. It was interesting to read all of the comments from the testers about our site.

Salvation Army: Double Punches Equipment Testing Report Hardware and Software Results Performed 4 tests on 4 different types of computers and operating systems. Operating System Browsers Monitor, Color & Resolutions Speeds 1 MacBook Safari 5.1.5 1024 x 768 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) 19671 kbps (2458.9 KB/sec transfer rate) 2 iMac 9 Safari 5.1.5 1920 x 1200 32-Bit Color 63446 Kbps (7930.8 KB/sec transfer rate) 3 Dell 2009 Mozilla FireFox 1680 x 1050 67044 (8380.5 KB/sec transfer rate) 4 Smart Phone HTC Evo Google 4.3 in WVG4 1515 kbps (189.4 KB/ sec transfer rate) Conditions of Testing The conditions were to test the site in a few different computers and a smart phone. The goal was to see the site in different resolutions and speeds . Factors of Testing The factors involved size and speed at different rates. I tested more than one operating system old and new to visualize its full function and capacity in all sorts of systems and browsers. Testing Results Operating Systems Results 1 MacBook The 2011 slide show takes about 7 seconds to fully load. The calendar of events doesn’t show much. 2 iMac 9 The slide show on the top header is blurry and pixy. Within the slideshow some pictures are not centered they are off the border of the header. 3 Dell 2009 Some slide show pictures are not centered they are off the border of the header. It takes about 10 seconds for video and photo page to fully load. 4 Smart Phone HTC Evo While phone is held vertically there is no header with the slideshow. There is no right or left scrolling bar only a up and down scrolling bar. Also the title of Double Punches and Salvation Army, Santa Rosa Ca. touch each other. While phone is held horizontally those problems don’t occur. It takes about a minute and 30 seconds for the videos and pictures page to fully load. Summary Testing went very well, in all respected operating systems the same minor problems occur. Different internet speeds and resolutions took a more seconds than others to fully load to the selected page. Changes It is only minor changes that would need to be changed in the header and the slide show. The uploading speed is different in all operating systems so not much can be done about it. Report Conclusion Testing was very successful. With only minor things to change, the page still looked amazing with great equal amount of blue and red. Also being friendly and easy to navigate. Being that different operating systems and browsers were used it all was a good resulting site. Report created by Roberto Vargas

The testing went well. Jen added a lot of the equipment testing into the class testing form. So I went and filled in the test results with things that were not tested from the class. Only a few problems occurred. I sent Jen the result summary and she updated the site.

As you mentioned in class, as a programmer I thought you wanted the site testing in every possible combination of environments. I did a bit of that, but mostly through the testing form. I only tried like 15 combinations myself. I had a hard time finding what the current versions of browsers were numbered.

It was a good assignment! It helped me become aware of how important it is to test cross browser and platform for any website that is going to go public.

I checked the site on my Apple iTouch and I was amazed at how well it worked. Slide show, galleries and links all worked very well. The site fit into the display perfectly! Yoshi checked the site on his Apple iPhone with the same results. Rich

I have tried to evaluate Greenacre Homes website http://www.srjctest.com/ but on reading Adobe FAQ I found out a new release of Browserlab 1.6 (in summer 2011) will address Content Management Systems. Not now.

Comments about testing
See url with Equipment Testing Results: http://www.artsypeep.com/habitatforhumanity-hardware-software-testing.html I thought this was an important exercise as there are many users that use various types of computers, screen sizes, browsers, tablets, smart phones. Some of these such as the tablet, smart phone and netbook were not tested by classmates. Therefore, I performed testing on these devices. After completing this hardware/software testing, I feel more confident that our website for Habitat For Humanity has been done well and is a success since there were very few problems.

The website is working correctly with alll current brosers as well as the older versions. The only exception to this was using IE7, which slightly shifts the page layout. The most noticeble IE7 issue is with the photo gallery thumbnails. This browser doesn't display the thumbnails as a 4x4 grid. Otherwsie the slideshow works.

Overall, the layout of the site was fairly standard across different browsers with the exception of IE in quirks mode.

I was surprised by how limited my testing was up to this point, compared to the testing for this assignment. What I thought I had tested to be the same on all browsers turned out to be different.

Comments about testing
The challenge for this assignment was to locate old system architectures, old system operating systems and systems with slow internet access to assess both the accessibility and functionality of the site. The surprise was that the old systems did quite well, although the new flash music and video players didn't work as one could have predicted. The old systems loaded the images as fast as the new systems. The only real notable difference was in the color depth of the standalone monitors vs laptop monitors. Side by side, the standalone monitors displayed a pale washed out image of what the laptops displayed.

Very enlightening, to try out the site at the Disability Resources Center. Turns out the screen reader reads the same text on the forms that sighted readers are reading, so it doesn't much matter what's in the label tags.

This part of testing is good as it can reveal the need for modifications or hacks to best meet the majority of users. One thing that becomes apparent, it will not be possible to satisfy all the users all the time.
