When you have completed a new website for your client, you may often think that your efforts will be now appreciated which isn’t the case in real world. In order to measure your efforts and related success, you have to complete the entire cycle of testing.
Testing of any new product is the final state when it comes to product development where the “bug-finders” open your website on various devices and different platforms to check out if there exist any problem with your delivered product. All the bugs are then reported to the project manager who then sends the report to the developer team in order to resolve them.
