Activity 6:  Test website 

Assessment Objective 6 

In this Activity you will print out the website.  You will then test a number of areas of your website  using a test table.  This will enable the website to be improved, making it better for the future. 

Use the activities below to produce evidence for your assignment. 

A          You will print out the pages for Assessment Objective 2 (see page 15) now that you have 

addressed Assessment Objectives 3, 4 and 5. 

To achieve a Distinction, whole pages will be printed.     (Webpages must be printed from a web browser) 

B          Produce a test table for use when testing the website.  You must conduct at least four 

tests from the following: 

•  suitability for target audience 

• purpose of website 

•  use of consistent housestyle 

• navigation system 

•  use of different components 

• interactive elements 

• hyperlinks 

• user form 

•  ease of use. 

At Pass level at least four tests must be carried out.  To achieve a Merit, at least five tests  that cover the main areas of the website must be carried out.  To achieve a Distinction, at  least six tests must be carried out that cover all the main areas of the website and any  action required to solve any problems must be given.      (The test table could be produced using a word-processed document) 

C          Where appropriate, for the tests carried out for Part B, provide annotated webpages, code 

or screenshot printouts highlighting before and after changes.  

At Pass level, there is no requirement to complete Part C.  At Merit and Distinction level if  you have found no problems during your testing, this must be recorded on the test table  and no further evidence will be required for Part C.
