One of the difficult decisions in testing is picking the correct feature for reporting a bug. Fortunately, we have compiled a list of the most frequent features on a test cycle overview page.
Bag, Shopping Bag, Cart, or Shopping Cart and the mini cart | represents the feature allowing the user to purchase the product, edit the number of articles in the Cart and discard unwanted items. A mini cart is found in the website header and briefly summarises items selected in the shopping cart for easy access while browsing. |
Category Landing Page | represents the page where the user finds relevant products from the same category. Depending on the design, a category landing page could display the promo material at the top. |
Checkout | represents the set of steps the user conducts to complete the order. The user can proceed to the Checkout as an existing or guest user. |
Content or Informational Pages | represents the pages not directly related to products. These pages usually provide general or alternative information, and the most common are: "About Us", "Contact Us", "Privacy Policy", "Ask Us," and similar. Other content pages display services or resources; blogs, site maps and FAQs pages also belong to this feature. NOTE: The test setup will identify these pages by name if they are in scope. Bugs found on these pages should not be reported under any other feature, like Homepage or Navigation, unless instructed otherwise. |
Footer | represents the bottom of the page. The Footer contains the legal document links, contact info, and social media links/icons. Depending on the design, some pages omit the Footer. |
Header | is located at the top of the webpage. Considering most websites, the Header is a strategic section that provides the basic idea of the website content. It gives structure to the website and catches the attention of users. |
Homepage | represents the front page of the website. Most of the visitors start their journey through the website from the Homepage. NOTE: Header, Navigation, and Footer are separate features and bugs found there should not be reported under the Homepage feature unless it is instructed otherwise. |
Landing Page | represents the page the user lands on after clicking on the link. It is designed for conversion and driving traffic to the website. One example of the Landing Page is the page one lands after clicking on the ad link after performing a Google search. NOTE: Header, Navigation, and Footers are separate features and bugs found there should not be reported under the Landing Page feature unless it is instructed otherwise. |
Login/Logout | represents the user's actions to access the profile and leave it afterwards. |
My Account | represents the feature where the user saves and stores personal info and settings. |
Navigation | represents all the movement on the website or app. It includes but is not limited to the Main Navigation, "Hamburger" Navigation, Sticky Menu, Sidebar Navigation, and Breadcrumbs Navigation. |
Newsletter Subscription | represents the user's feature or action to subscribe for special offers from a website or application. |
Order Process/Order flow | is the same feature as the Checkout. |
Product Category Page | represents the page with similar products merged into categories. |
Product Collection Page | represents the page with a list of products that belong to the same collection. |
Product Detail Page | represents the page of a single product where the user can find product info, media gallery, possible options for purchase (size, volume, quantity), similar or suggested products, etc. |
Product Landing Page | represents the page where the user can perform the following actions: purchasing a discounted product or subscribing to the offer. In marketing, this is called Post Click Page. The difference between PDP and PLP is that PDP has a Navigation Menu and Footer. PLP has less volume but contains a title that matches the ad text, a button, or a link that calls for action (subscription or purchase). One of the indicators that the user is on PLP is a list of so-called success stories. |
Product Listing Page | represents the list of products in the same category. |
Product Overview Page | represents the list of products in the same category or subcategory. |
Register | represents the set of actions in the creation of an account. |
Search | represents the feature one can use for finding products or services using the keywords. |
Search Results Page | represents the generated list that appears after the user searches for keywords. |
Search Suggestions List | appears as a dropdown menu beneath the search bar in various applications and websites, presenting suggested search queries based on your input to quickly assist in finding desired content. |
Sign up for an account | is the same as Register for an account. |
Wishlist | represents the feature that facilitates saving products for later purchases. |
If you don't see a feature on the list, remember that our customers decide if they want to use our standard features. Furthermore, they create their own features if our list needs to be more extensive. When that happens, you can always contact your TL for help understanding where to report the bug.
