Magento Frontend QA Checklist

Launching a Magento 2 or 1.x store with the added functionality (and headache) of third party plugins can be a hassle to test, especially with time restrictions and deadlines.
Fortunately it doesn’t require deep technical knowledge to pick up and diagnose most bugs.  Just one thorough and systematic test of the site’s frontend can weed out most potential nuisances without going through every single page and product on your site. Testing the frontend of a new, upgraded, or migrated Magento site without much technical knowledge can be kept simple in one run by testing each different page type intently.  If your site is responsive be sure to repeat tests with different window sizes and platforms like a tablet from Apple or Microsoft.
