Manual testing is useful when you launch or change a form. Automated form testing handles the repeated checks that are easy to put off once the website is live.
1. Choose the forms to monitor
Start with the contact, enquiry, or quote forms your business relies on. For client sites, build a list of the forms your agency needs to check. Add their page URLs to FormTester 365 and choose the forms to monitor.
2. Decide what a successful test should prove
Standard tests check browser submission success. Add-ons can verify and delete test submissions. Decide whether you need that additional verification, and account for notifications or workflows that live test entries may trigger.
3. Set a schedule
Daily testing is available on every plan, alongside weekly and monthly schedules. A failure is detected when a test runs, so choose a frequency that matches how often you need to check.
4. Review the first results
Check that the test can complete your particular form, including extra steps, CAPTCHA, or actions that reveal it. Use the free trial to establish that the setup works for your site.
5. Make alerts actionable
When a test fails, review the dashboard result and investigate the form. After a fix, confirm that the form completes successfully again.
