With authentications, Silktide tests the area of your website
that are behind a login.
Examples include: a customer account area,
a virtual learning environment, a company staff intranet,
and an online banking portal.
It's really important to make sure
your whole website is working, not just
the public facing parts.
Without Silktide, you can't be sure that areas behind
an authentication step are free from content errors,
accessibility issues and usability problems.
You'll have critical user steps like customer account areas
for checking past orders, or entire virtual learning
environments for staff and students.
What if there are broken links to core materials
in your VLE or to critical staff
resources in your intranet?
Or how about customers just not being
able to access their settings?
The first you'll hear about these problems
are when the complaints come in.
It's frustrating for users and costs you time and money
in customer and IT support.
If you're in the public sector, then you'll
be subject to accessibility laws requiring your entire website,
including intranet and customer portals, to be accessible.
It's worth asking: how would you normally test for these issues?
What if your VLE contains hundreds or maybe
thousands of pages of content for students and teachers?
Or perhaps your company intranet has critical information
that all staff members need?
You'd have to log in as a user and search for problems
manually on every page.
Other web testing platforms can't
test these authenticated areas, but Silktide is different.
Silktide can access every page behind a login,
meaning we can automatically check your entire website
frequently and at scale.
With Silktide's comprehensive testing modules,
you can find errors in your content like spelling, grammar
and broken links.
You can pinpoint accessibility problems
and fix them so you don't fall foul of any local and national
legislation.
If you're only testing the public facing
parts of your website, you could be missing 40% of your content.
Other platforms will miss these vital parts out.
So remember, Silktide can test areas of your website
behind authentication.
It can find problems on every single page
automatically, and present solutions on how to fix them.
