Digital testing

Digital titles can be more challenging to deliver, especially if you are accustomed to the established workflow for producing printed titles. Even when your content delivery platform is relatively mature, new content can introduce unexpected complications. For a platform in its early development phase, you should expect a high volume of bugs. You need to be able to trust that quality control is in the hands of someone with the right attitude and skill set.

The answer is to choose a digital tester who knows how to:

• assist with adapting printed content into a digital-ready format, drawing on copyediting skills
• quickly learn to use your platform's content-management system with minimal training
• methodically cross-check on-screen content and outputs against printed source material
• detect bugs and provide detailed bug reports that your developer can easily interpret
• highlight inconsistencies and flaws in the layout and presentation of the content
• flag any unforeseen accessibility issues that occur during testing
• test using a variety of inputs to anticipate user behaviours
• scrutinise the automatic marking of questions
• keep a clear and transparent record of all corrections made
• understand and adjust basic HTML to efficiently make corrections
• make style adjustments to comply with your house style and compile a digital style sheet.
