Testing & Test plans
• Why do we use tests? Q&A - 5-10 mins
• What things other than websites’ and pages can we test (MOT, driving tests) Q&A 5-10 mins
• Links to other units where tests and test plans appear (all units other than 1 & 2) – Tutor led 5-10 mins
• In groups of no more than 3, create a list of the things on a webpage that you would test/review? 15 min’s
• What information should appear in a test plan/table? Q&A, board work – 5 min’s
• Create a test plan from your lists created - this must be done individually within your groups. – Learner led 15 min’s
• Choose a website of your choice – Learner led 2 min’s
• Using the now created test plan/table that you have created, use it on the selected website (Moodle is a good one as there are a few errors and issues) – Learner led 30 min’s
Assets and Files
Make sure that all the assets are in a suitable format for the web. You need to check the file format and also the size of images, videos and animations. You may need to change text that has been created using a word processor so that it displays correctly when formatted in html.
Now that you have created you plans and storyboards for your portfolio, you now need to consider the assets that you will be displaying on your site.
Create a folder in your storage area for Unit3 and call it "Assets" inside of this folder create a folder for each of the pages that you will be having on your portfolio as displayed in the image below,
Inside of these folders you will need to place ALL assets for that page. REMEMBER: these assets MUST appear on your assets table, so you may need to update this as you go.
Things to include in your portfolio
At this point of the planning you need to stop and think about what content to include the portfolio and what your selections of web pages will look like. You need to take the following into account:
- how you will combine files of different formats into your portfolio
- what you can do to limit the size of multimedia files, which can be large (tens of megabytes in size)
- how you will get your audience to move through your portfolio .
Digital Assets
Once the design of a site has happend consideration turns to the files and assets that you will required to be on, and available to the site for potential visitors. It is essential to consider a number of things in this topic area, these are,
- quality
- size (dimensions)
- size (capacity)
- file types (compression)
these points can effect the operation and load times of the pages on the portfolio.
In most cases when a user visits a portfolio they will be looking for something, this may be information that is text based, or information in image form. The presentation of information will vary based upon the factors indicated above, this is where you will need to consider the options available.
When using text, the load times are relatively fast, only where unusual fonts are loaded from other locations does this slow down, however this is in the most part not sufficient for the user not loose interest.
However images can take time to download to the page, this time is dependant on the settings selected in relation to the list above. You must review a balanced approach of quailty of the image against the overall file size, this is where some details of an image are lost if the image quality is reduced when saving therefore making the file size smaller.
Other options available to reduced the file size is the use of different file types, there are a number to choose from. These file types will use compression techniques to make the size of the file smaller, with the potential of not removing any of the quality.
Sound
As has been discussed in the section above our assest can effect the load times of our site, we have reviewed images but what about audio? Some sites have audio that play on them (this is not advised) but these sounds will need to be loaded much like the images. Again like the images the sounds can be large and the quality can and will effect thier loading, so in this case we use different sound file types that use CODEC's (COmpression DECompression) to reduce the size without noticable quality changes.
Using the Videos within this section, create a list of the different file types and explain what they mean, what they are.
