Site Testing

What Site Testing checks

• Smoke tests check boot, fatal screens, public pages, navigation, assets, and screenshots.
• Admin tests verify wp-admin and login access when credentials are available.
• Content and page tests review key URLs and page behavior.
• Form and functionality tests check safe interactions.
• Visual regression compares screenshots against the original or live URL.

Running tests

• Select an instance.
• Enter the original or live URL for visual comparison when needed.
• Choose one or more tests.
• Run tests and watch pending, running, done, and failed statuses update by step.
• Use the test navigation to move between selected tests.

Reading results
