Overview
The Paris Saint-Germain F.C. website development project aimed to create a dynamic, user-friendly website that reflected the club’s identity and values. This particular PSG project aimed to provide fans with a unique and personalized experience of designing their own shirts. The project involved developing a user-friendly web application that allowed fans to choose various aspects of the shirt such as size, colour, name, and number. The project also promised to deliver the shirt to the customer within 30 minutes of the order being confirmed.
Challenges
- The main challenge was to develop a near bug-free software that would allow users to design their shirts with different options such as size, name, and number. The project required effective inventory management, accurate parsing of user inputs, and allocation of the appropriate delivery point based on the customer’s address.
- The website had to be highly responsive with no downtime to ensure that orders were processed and delivered on time. In case of any issues or delays, the shirt would be for free. Overall, the PSG project aimed to provide fans with a seamless and personalized experience while setting high standards for logistics and delivery management.
- The software had to be user-friendly, responsive, and able to display the design accurately as the user intended. It was necessary to ensure that the added names and numbers were parsed correctly and displayed on the shirt accurately as intended by the user. Any errors or mistakes could have led to incorrect design, which could have resulted in customer dissatisfaction.
- Also there was no room for any downtime, even when there is a high volume of traffic. Any delay in the order confirmation or processing could result in missing the 30-minute delivery deadline. The other challenges in testing the Paris Saint-Germain F.C. website include compatibility, security, usability, and integration testing. The website needed to be tested for user-friendliness, accuracy, consistency, and relevance of content.
Solution & Strategy
- The solutions and strategies to overcome the challenges in testing the Paris Saint-Germain F.C. Website include compatibility, performance, security, usability, content, localization, and integration testing.
- To achieve this, we prioritized testing and validation throughout the development process. We validated user inputs and prevent incorrect data from being displayed on the shirt. We conducted rigorous exploratory testing, along with several rounds of regression testing with comprehensive scripts that covered various scenarios.
- Additionally, to ensure website performance and minimize downtime, it was necessary to implement caching to store frequently accessed data and monitored the overall performance throughout to immediately inform the developers in case the site started being unresponsive.
- A well-defined test strategy was followed, tailored to the specific needs of the project, outlining the testing approach, types of testing, test environment, schedule, and metrics to measure testing effectiveness.
