Uncovering Hidden Bugs - My First QA Testing Experience With BrowserStack Demo Sites

Image
Today, I’m sharing my experience with bug hunting on a demo e-commerce site ( LINK ). As a Data and Business Analyst, I’m venturing into Quality Assurance (QA) and software testing for the first time, using tools like BrowserStack to test cross-browser compatibility and various aspects of the site. In this post, I’ll cover the bugs I found, categorize them, and describe the reporting process. Using BrowserStack, I explored how to identify and report bugs efficiently across multiple browsers and operating systems. BrowserStack provided an extensive toolkit, allowing me to test on various browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Yandex, Bing, and Internet Explorer. Additionally, I could access multiple versions of each browser, making it possible to simulate user experiences across different environments — all within one platform. Throughout this journey, I’ll share the key bugs I found, my approach to categorizing them, and insights from my first deep dive into QA testing. 1...
