Theme Tests - QA Checklist

This article provides a comprehensive checklist for performing a Theme Test. It will guide you through the preparation steps, help you conduct tests efficiently, and ensure your theme changes work as expected.

Pre-Test Checklist

Before starting your theme test, ensure the following requirements are met:

  • The test theme is correctly duplicated and set up in ABConvert.

  • Changes made to the test theme do not impact live store functionality.

  • Backup of the original theme is available.

  • Test theme includes all necessary scripts and integrations.

  • (Optional) A/B test tracking is enabled in ABConvert.

Prepare Preview Links

To review your test configurations and test results, follow these steps:

  • Go to the Test Analytics Page and click “Summary.”

  • The Summary Block will pop up, showing your test configuration and providing links to preview the test.

🎨 Theme Display & Functionality

☑ The test theme loads correctly without visual or layout issues. ☑ Custom styles, fonts, and colors are applied as expected. ☑ Navigation menus and links function properly. ☑ Images, banners, and videos display correctly. ☑ Product pages, collection pages, and homepages render properly. ☑ The test does NOT impact other themes or live store functionality.

🛒 Store Functionality

☑ Add to cart, remove item, and update quantity functions work correctly. ☑ The checkout process works without errors. ☑ Popups, banners, and notifications behave as expected. ☑ Any third-party apps or scripts integrated with the theme function correctly.

📱 Cross-Device & Browser Testing

☑ The test theme works correctly on mobile, tablet, and desktop. ☑ Major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) display the theme properly. ☑ There are no console errors in the browser’s developer tools.

FAQs

❓ Q1: What happens if I make changes to the live theme during the test?

A1: Changes to the live theme do not affect the test theme, but we recommend testing changes separately to prevent inconsistencies.

❓ Q2: Will the test theme impact checkout or third-party scripts?

A2: The test theme applies only to store pages, but if scripts depend on theme settings, verify that they are correctly implemented in both test and live themes.

By following this checklist, you can ensure your theme test runs smoothly and provides accurate results for your store’s design and functionality.
