User Interface Testing: More guide lines

Hey friends, you know woah..

User Interface Testing presents software teams with significant challenges. Simple UIs reveal a surprisingly large number of possible interactions, and therefore potential bugs. Lets see how we can start the UIT. When we test the Colors what do we have to consider?

Well, I try to answer these questions Yes- Are hyperlink colors standard?,are the field backgrounds the correct color?, are the field prompts the correct color?Are all the buttons in standard format and size?Is the page background (color) distraction free?Are the screen and field colors adjusted correctly for non-editable mode?Does the site use (approximately) standard link colors?

Hey, what about the content? Do you all check All fonts to be the same,are all the screen prompts specified in the correct screen font? Does content remain if you need to go back to a previous page, or if you move forward to another new page?Are all texts properly aligned?Is the text in all fields specified in the correct screen font?Are all heading left aligned?

Any idea to test the navigation? oki doki. I try to fill these gaps.Are all disabled fields avoided in the TAB sequence?Are all read-only fields avoided in the TAB sequence?Can all screens accessible via buttons on this screen be accessed correctly? Does a scrollbar appear if required?Does the Tab Order specified on the screen go in sequence from Top Left to bottom right? (This is the default unless otherwise specified)Is there a link to home on every single page? On open of tab focus will be on first editable field When an error message occurs does the focus return to the field in error when the user cancels it?

Finally, what about the Usability. These are the stuff i learnt from test gurus' and i strictly practice. Are all the field prompts spelled correctly? Are fonts too large or too small to read? Are names in command button & option box names not abbreviations.Assure that option boxes, option buttons, and command buttons are logically grouped together in clearly demarcated areas "Group Box" ,Can the typical user run the system without frustration?Do pages print legibly without cutting off text? Does the site convey a clear sense of its intended audience? Does the site have a consistent, clearly recognizable "look-&-feel"? Does User cab Login Member Area with both UserName/Email ID ?Does the site look good on 640 x 480, 600x800 etc.? Does the system provide or facilitate customer service? i.e. responsive, helpful, accurate?Is all terminology understandable for all of the site’s intended users?

Hope, its enough for the day..
