It is a good idea to provide all testers with a copy of the test table below for them to report all errors that they find. This way the person who made the website can more easily identify where the problem might be, and can use user data to take a closer look at what might have gone wrong.

The first row of the table provides an example of the details that testers should provide.

It is helpful for testers to use a shared spreadsheet, such as using Google Docs, so that the fixer has a list of all the errors in one place.

It is worth taking the time to format the spreadsheet so that high/medium/low priority errors can be coloured red, amber and green, and errors that have been fixed can be scored through.
