Vigorous Testing Ensures Successful Launch of BACA’s Umbraco Website
Client Overview
BACA is a leading provider of workwear and safety products, offering a range of items from clothing to accessories. As part of their digital strategy, BACA required a robust and user-friendly website to showcase and sell their products. They partnered with our team to develop an Umbraco-based platform with advanced functionality, including a unique tool that allowed users to customise and view clothing and accessories on a 3D digital model.
Challenge
The development of BACA’s new website introduced a range of complexities, particularly with the custom 3D model feature. This functionality needed to work seamlessly across various devices, allowing users to add and preview products in real-time. Ensuring the performance and functionality of this tool required rigorous testing across multiple scenarios. Additionally, the website needed to meet high standards for security, performance and user experience before its launch. The scope of testing included penetration testing to assess security, performance regression to handle high traffic, as well as thorough manual testing for both functional accuracy and the integration of the 3D modelling tool.
Solution
Our team of testers conducted an extensive manual software testing process, addressing all critical aspects of the BACA website prior to its launch. This included penetration testing to identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure the website was secure against cyber threats. We performed performance regression testing to evaluate how the website and its 3D model tool handled various traffic loads, ensuring stability during peak usage. Additionally, requirements and change testing was carried out to ensure all features met BACA’s specifications and continued to work as expected after any changes or updates to the platform.
Given the complexity of the 3D clothing customisation tool, we undertook significant manual and functional testing to ensure it worked properly for all users, products and devices. This included testing the integration between the modelling tool, the product catalogue and the underlying database. Throughout the process, our team worked closely with developers to quickly identify and resolve any issues, ensuring the platform’s functionality was seamless.
Results
Our comprehensive testing approach was critical to the successful launch of BACA’s new website. The 3D model tool operated smoothly across all devices and browsers, delivering an engaging and interactive experience for users. By addressing potential security vulnerabilities and ensuring strong performance under various conditions, the website was fully prepared to handle live traffic. This resulted in a stable, secure and highly functional platform that met all of BACA’s business requirements.
Conclusion
The successful launch of BACA’s Umbraco website demonstrates the essential role of thorough manual software testing in complex web development projects. Our testers ensured that all features, particularly the 3D customisation tool, functioned as intended across devices while maintaining high standards for security and performance. Through this meticulous testing process, we enabled BACA to deliver a cutting-edge digital experience to their customers, positioning them for continued success in their online sales.
