QA Testing – Nation.dev Platform
During my internship (APL), I tested a platform under development called Nation.dev, focusing on the user experience.
Since no predefined testing approach was provided, I created my own structured way of testing and documenting findings, focusing on user flows, edge cases, and clear communication.
My approach
- explored the platform from a user perspective
- tested different flows and scenarios
- documented findings in a clear and structured format
- focused on UX, validation, and feedback
Example findings
Below are a few examples of issues I identified and documented during testing:
Missing feedback when character limit is reached
Description: The input field silently stops accepting text when the maximum length is reached, without notifying the user or providing feedback.
Impact: Users may believe their full input was saved.
Suggested improvement: Add a character counter or clear message when the limit is reached.
No warning when navigating away with unsaved changes
Description: Navigating away from a page without saving results in lost data, without any warning.
Impact: Risk of losing user input, leading to a negative user experience.
Suggested improvement: Add a confirmation dialog or autosave functionality.
What I learned
This project strengthened my interest in quality assurance and user experience, especially identifying usability issues from a user perspective
It also improved my ability to work with structured testing, document findings clearly, and communicate issues in a way that supports improvement.
