Introduction to Adalo

An introduction to the Adalo app maker website, showing the 3 key features that are needed to build an app: screens, components and collections.

Unit 3 - Testing

Lesson 2 – Testing a user journey

In this lesson you will test creating a new user and trying the functionality as a user.

Once you have corrected the errors you have found, you can test a “user journey”. This is a way to check what it’s like to use all the features in your app.

Open a Preview of your app using an incognito or private window. This means that it won’t remember your login and you can test signing up as a new user.

Test the following:

User sign up
Home page
Clicking on the restaurant button
Creating a new restaurant listing
Clicking on a restaurant in the list
Going back to the home page

Make sure to test these things on at least two different accounts to make sure the app is working as you expect.

Did you find some features that don’t work?

For example:

Nothing happens when you click a restaurant in the list
You can’t get back to the home page from the restaurant page
You can’t log out
You see a list of every restaurant from every user, not just your own restaurants.

We will fix issues 1, 2 and 3 above in the next lesson.

Right now we can easily fix issue number 4. Go back to your screens. Click on the list of restaurants on your Items screen. We will add a filter so it only shows restaurants that have been created by the current user. Go to the left menu and click on the drop down menu under “Filter”. Change it from “All Restaurants” to “Logged in User > Restaurants.

Test this page again to make sure the change has worked.
