SharePoint Testing

SharePoint testing is an invaluable way to ensure quality as far as content, taxonomy, navigation, workflows, and the right level of security.

Key and core aspects to define are:

• the purpose of the testing 
• who is doing the testing
• where they are testing
• what they are testing as far as

1. relevant sites
2. pages
3. links 
4. application links
5. documents
6. permissions
7. policies and data protection requirements

Testing should include creating, reading, updating and deleting (CRUD) each aspect as desired.

Finally, using a simple SharePoint list to track issues found in testing is helpful and a good use of the technology.
