What BrowserVision Tests

Cart

Shopping Cart Management

Test add to cart, quantity updates, item removal, cart persistence, and cart total calculations. Verify cart works correctly across all scenarios and edge cases.

"Add 3 items to cart, change quantity
to 5, remove one item, verify cart
total updates correctly"
Checkout

Complete Checkout Flows

Test the entire checkout process from cart to order confirmation. Verify shipping options, payment methods, billing/shipping forms, and order summary pages.

"Proceed to checkout, fill shipping,
select express delivery, enter card,
verify order confirmation page"
Payments

Payment Gateway Integration

Test payment processing with all supported methods - credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, etc. Verify failed payments are handled correctly and error messages appear.

"Try payment with expired card, verify
error message appears. Then pay with
valid card, verify success."
Discounts

Promo Codes & Coupons

Validate all promotional codes work correctly. Test percentage discounts, fixed amount discounts, free shipping codes, and minimum order requirements.

"Apply SUMMER25 code, verify 25%
discount applied. Try FREESHIP code,
verify shipping cost becomes $0."
Products

Product Catalog Testing

Verify product pages load correctly with all variants, images, descriptions, and pricing. Test size/color selection, availability indicators, and out-of-stock handling.

"Go to product page, select Large size
and Blue color, verify price updates,
verify add to cart button works"
Search

Search & Filtering

Test site search, category filtering, sorting, and pagination. Verify search results are relevant, filters work correctly, and "no results" cases are handled.

"Search 'wireless headphones', filter
by price $50-$100, sort by rating,
verify results match criteria"
