Why We Test?

Testing is meant two help answer the following questions:

• What do I expect this product to do?
• Does this product do what it’s mean to do for EVERYONE?
• What will stop this product from doing what I expect it to do? i.e. How does one break the product

Security Points:

• HTTP vs HTTPS
• SSL Certificates

Intro to Test Strategies:

• BDD User Stories => Acceptance Criteria Scenarios: Given, When, Then
• Performance Testing

Activity: Take Two of your user stories, create acceptance criteria and two scenarios

• Chrome Dev Tools
• Network Tests
• Cross-Browser Tests
• Accessibility Tests - WebAIM
