Days 17-18: Testing and Debugging

Days17 and 18 are dedicated to testing and debugging. These are crucial steps in any software or web development process to ensure that the application functions correctly and provides a good user experience. Let's dive into the content:

Day 17 Hour 1-2: Introduction to Quality Assurance and Testing Methodologies

The first session of Day 17 introduces the concept of quality assurance (QA) in web development. We will discuss the role of QA in ensuring that the software meets the specified requirements and provides the desired functionality without errors. We'll delve into different testing methodologies like unit testing, integration testing, functional testing, and usability testing, each of which has a distinct purpose and helps uncover different types of issues.

Day 17 Hour 3-4: Practical Session on Testing

In the next session, we'll have a hands-on practice session where we will test the web applications built during the group projects. We'll go through various stages of testing, starting from unit testing individual components, to integration testing for ensuring different parts of the application work together seamlessly.

Day 17 Hour 5-6: Identifying and Resolving Issues

This session focuses on bug identification and resolution. A 'bug' in a web application is an error, flaw, failure, or fault that produces an incorrect or unexpected result. We will learn how to use debugging tools to identify the root cause of a bug and apply various problem-solving strategies to resolve these issues.

Day 17 Hour 7-8: Browser Compatibility Testing

Different web browsers interpret and display web pages in slightly different ways, so we need to test our applications across multiple browsers to ensure they work and look consistent. In this session, we'll test our applications in various web browsers and devices to ensure that all users have a good experience, regardless of their choice of technology.

Day 18 Hour 1-2: Performance Optimisation

A key aspect of an effective web application is its speed and responsiveness, which directly impact the overall user experience. In this session, we'll dive into performance optimisation strategies tailored specifically for Softr-built web applications. We'll explore techniques such as minifying CSS and JavaScript files, optimizing media content, making good use of browser caching, and integrating with content delivery networks (CDNs). These tactics will ensure your Softr application delivers high performance and a seamless user experience.

Day 18 Hour 3-4: Implementing Performance Optimisations

In this practical session, we'll implement the performance optimisation techniques learned in the previous session. We'll assess the effect of these improvements by comparing the performance of our web applications before and after optimisation.

Day 18 Hour 5-8: Final Testing

With all the optimisations and bug fixes in place, it's time for a final round of testing. We'll run through all our tests again to ensure that all parts of the application function as expected and all identified bugs have been successfully resolved.
