Your company probably won’t need to perform the exhaustive testing that large e-commerce sites must go through when rolling out a new site, but testing your Web site before publishing it can result in a more effective site, as well as fewer complaints from visitors.
Testing generally looks at three areas: hyperlinks, Web browser compatibility, and usability.
Verifying Hyperlinks
Your Web-authoring tool may provide a command for checking external hyperlinks for validity. FrontPage, for example, provides a Verify Hyperlinks button on its Reporting toolbar.
If your program has such a feature, we recommend that you use it before you publish your pages to the Internet.
