How can I find a bug?

Most applications and websites have similar features, such as: a homepage, sign up,
login, my account, search, checkout and so on. When testing, and searching for bugs
try to use the app as a normal user would use it in the real world. Keep an eye out
for anything that doesn't seem to be working, or is doing something completely
different than a normal user would expect. Here are some examples of things to do
while testing:

User registration and login

Log in using Google and Facebook accounts


Register a regular email account
Try to register using invalid credentials (note this is not always in scope)
Use the forgot password feature to retrieve your account

My account page

Change your password


Upload a profile image and change the image too
Change and apply all of the different account settings
See that all pages and features in the account page are available and
functional

Checkout, cart, wishlist

Add and remove items from the cart


Add and remove items from the wishlist
Like different items (and try to remove the like too)
Click on the checkout button to verify the items in your cart (Do not complete
purchases while testing)

Homepage

Click on all of the different buttons, links and features


Observe all images are displayed correctly and respond as expected
Menu - verify that a user can navigate through the features of the website or
app
Design - verify the page is aligned properly to the screen's default size

Search and Filter

Use the search functionality and to explore the features, products and various
pages
Try searching with invalid data (spaces or with no input, note this may not be
in scope)
Select different colors, sizes and designs of products
Apply multiple filters at one time
Use the remove all filters button
Open the filtered results and return back (observe the filter behavior)
Verify filters show the correct amount of results
