ABSTRACT

A good Quality Assurance Plan (QA Plan) will determine how and in what order each aspect of your website should be tested. A QA Plan’s first priority is to avoid a situation that will force you to accelerate or to change the plan hurriedly because of some unanticipated problem. For many websites, by the time a problem becomes too obvious to ignore, considerable financial damage may have already occurred. If you do not test often and thoroughly defects will accumulate or be missed. A good QA Plan will orient the project toward detecting defects early, close to the point of insertion, and not allow defects to infect work later on.
