Lesson 4: Test & Launch!

Pre-Launch

One of the most important parts of web development as a professional is QA testing. Clients often like to promote their upcoming site launch to spark some excitement around their business. They may send out email blasts, post to social media or LinkedIn or run a special promotion for the launch opening week. If you fail to test their site adequately before the launch , then their business could take a hit in regards to brand perception or revenue if they drive traffic to a broken site.
