User acceptance testing (UAT) refers to finding out whether a website visitor can carry out their desired task. The process involves submitting a website through various user testing scenarios and analysing the results of those tests.
By sourcing a representative group, we are able to test your website by those identified as target audience groups, ensuring your website is fit for purpose. We can define a number of different real world scenarios to encourage users to carryout different tasks and assess their journey and ease of use.
We’ll provide you with video reports that highlight how well your audience engaged with your website, and make recommendations for improvement based on our findings.
What user acceptance tests can we perform?
Website speed testing
Site speeds on websites and apps are critical to their success. If your website takes too long to load, the likelihood is that people will leave your website before they’ve even seen it and move to a competitor website.
Our testing team can test your website speed with speed testing software that pinpoints exactly what elements are slowing your website down, which could be anything from poor code, to images that are too large.
We’ll provide a comprehensive report that includes recommendations on how to remedy the issues.
Browser and platform testing
The term browser relates to the application you use to view a website. The most common examples are Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
Personal preference, as well as device presets, determine which browser a web visitor will access your website through. As such, it’s important that your website works well in all of the browsers available.
Platform refers to the device a website is being viewed on, for example a laptop or a mobile phone. The range of platforms is ever expanding and it’s important that your website offers the optimal experience for each platform available.
Modern browser versions and platforms offer more functions and features than past versions, and, whilst legacy versions are dying out, they are still available and often used in some sectors.
We can analyse your Google Analytics 4 (GA4) data to understand which browsers and platforms are most used by your audience to access your website and prioritise updates based on this.
Where an older version doesn’t support a new website feature, it’s important that your website presents the next best possible display.
Our user acceptance testing lab provides live, web-based browser testing with instant access to every desktop and mobile browser and allows us to test in tandem. This allows us to thoroughly test and measure your website ensuring that no user is alienated by your website.
SEO audit
We can also look at your website from a search marketing point of view by conducting an SEO audit. Using specialist software, we’re able to look at your search visibility and analyse your website against your competitors. We’ll provide you with a comprehensive report of your website in it’s current state and provide recommendations on how to improve your website performance.
