• One of the things important as a web designer is
  testing the site, if the site is omitted, the
  chances are that audience will see a totally
  different design than what has been envisioned by
  the designer.

• Although, the designing is still more important
  than testing. Hence, it is important to know the
  theory and should stay up to date with the best
  practices about testing.

When to Test?

• The design should not be tested too early, the
  designer should at least wait till the whole
  design is complete and when the client is happy
  with the design. Testing too early will make no
  sense, as the designer will have to test the site
  again on its completion and will only be a waste
  of time.

• Ensure to test while the initial implementation
  or when a client requires a change in something.

What to Test?

• There should be a predefined list of browsers to
  test the site against. Doing so will give a set
  of goals for performing quality checks on the
  implementation of the design.

• Few customers will have their own requirements
  for testing, these can be added to the list to be
  more accurate.

• Designers will have to fulfill the clients
  expectations and if still left unsure, here are a
  few suggestions to take into account.

• It is important to make sure that all the modern
  browsers are covered, which could be Firefox,
  Chrome, IE, and Safari. Most of these browsers
  have a pretty decent updating system.

• Browsers other than IE are very consistent with
  their rendering between versions.

• Hence, for this specific reason it will be good
  to test against the latest ones at the same time
  keeping in mind the browser compatibility, or
  using tools that JavaScript based to manage the
  compatibility.

• Ensure to include all IE versions from 7 upwards,
  which might also require an emulator or a browser
  testing service. However, the good thing is that
  the designer would not require installing
  separate copies for 7 and 8, the F12 tools in IE
  9 helps to emulate both these versions.

• Additionally, it would also be nice to test for
  mobile browsers, it is suggested to get the hands
  on testing for iOS and Android.

• If there is a budget crunch, it would be a good
  idea to test with the free Android SDK, which
  comes with free emulator and X-code for the iOS
  simulator, however it would need a Mac to run it.

Follow the above mentioned suggestions and get on
with testing.
