Get In Touch

Business scenarios specific to the site

1. Check the customization features specific to the site. For example, the sale promotion strategy differs from one site to other. It should work seamlessly exactly like it was with Magento 1.
2. Sale promotion rules should be defined.
3. URL of Catalog, product pages should match M1 site.
4. Verify SEO metadata, canonical tags, and description by checking view page source.

Admin

1. Admin URL should be obfuscated. This is as per the Magento EQP standard.

2. Check the import processes.

• Product
• Inventory
• Tax

3. Reports

Third-party integrations

Check the third-party integrations that handle functions like:

• ERP
• Product feeds
• Tracking Pixels
• Custom modules

Verification Of Automated Regression Scripts And Updates

Upgrading will impact automation scripts, so run the scripts. Based on the results, update the scripts. Re-run the scripts and share the results with stakeholders.

In a few instances, we have noted that having a dedicated testing team for the upgrade helps to find defects invisible to the developers. A Magento Upgrade should upgrade the overall experience of the customer.
