Web application testing: 6-step guide how to test a website

More and more web applications are being developed these days. And with each line of code being written, the potential for bugs arises.

Generally speaking, the costs of fixing bugs increase exponentially the later you find them.

User behavior analytics are part of the puzzle for a SaaS company’s success. They unlock the insights, both said and unsaid, by customers, and create better product decisions for customers over time.

Ever so often, a morning for a SaaS product manager could look like this:

Grab a stimulating morning beverage (I like coffee myself)
Check the customer feedback received
Monitor customer support tickets
Look at the roadmap
Dig deeper into heatmaps and user behavior analytics
Align with colleagues on what to build next
