Probably, everyone even once has a deal with the e-commerce systems. But for the majority of end users, e-commerce applications have already become an integrated part of their life. Nevertheless, some products of such a kind may significantly disappoint the users. In most cases, that is because of poor quality.

For example, a user pushes the button and expects for the immediate reaction – nobody wants to waste the time. But the website does not respond for a rather long time. Of course, it is very annoying and the vast majority of users will go to another site and forget this one as a bad dream.

To prevent such a situation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough check of every functional aspect of the website. It may seem that it is nothing to do with e-commerce testing. But correct work of every button, link and text box is not enough for having a product of a high quality.
