User Story: Site Validation

[DeeMcCart]

EPIC: #67 SO_06 As site owner I want to provide a website, which meets current programming, performance and accessibility standards (html, css, javascript, responsive, accessibility, performance) so that users can enjoy a high-standard experience

Assumptions or Pre-Requisites:

System has reached a stable point (note that some of these valiation tests may need to be repeated prior to handover)

Acceptance Criteria: (Must be completed before task is moved to 'Done')

• [ ] All validation tests must be completed
• [ ] All validaton tests must pass, unless a reasonable explanation can be provided for failure

Tasks

• [x] Task1 W3C validation of each html file (needs to be based on rendered, rather than source, html, as source includes non-html control codes)... using checker at https://validator.w3.org/nu/#file
• 20/02/24: ONGOING (6 errors remaining in product detail; 7 errors in products: mostly these refer to the navigation meny whcih has li as a child of nav)
• 21/02/24:
• [ ] Task2 Accessibility checking of each customized HTML file using https://wave.webaim.org/report#/
• [x] Task3 CSS testing of style.css using https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/: DONE 20/02/24 for base.css (4 errors: resolved)
• [x] Task4 Lighthouse testing of overall site in Chrome
• [x] Task5 Python PEP8 testing (all altered py files) using CI's PEP8 validator

18/02/24-20/02/24 Python validation: Products, Checkout, Profiles - first pass (6 hours) - picking up on coding errors (and creating them) The best command to use is: python3 -m flake8 --exclude=/migrations/ 20/02/24 HTML validation (6 hours): 20/02/24 CSS Validation (1 hour)

Validation done but not satisfactory. In particular, last-minute HTML validation fix (struggled to resolve header issue relating to button/anchor within nav/ul: this was affecting all pages) caused knock-on problems which means the responsive display is now incorrect. HTML validation - completed successfully; CSS validation - completed successfully; W3C accessibility validation - incomplete; Lighthouse performance validation - done but very low scores in 70% range (even on rechecking) - this needs more investigation; Python validation - completed with a couple of small remaining issues on 2 of the 4 apps. Javascript validation - not done. User testing/ test scripts - documentation presented is not reflective of the volume and variety of testing actually done. Also certain functionality is not working at time of submission
