- Exported to Excel for detailed analysis
Benefits
Problems like broken links, spelling errors and usability problems drive visitors away from your site. Search engine issues stop visitors before they arrive. Find and fix website problems before your customers or executives find them.
Manual testing effort is proportional to the number of pages, so costs quickly add up, even on small sites:
- At least 30 minutes to comprehensively test each page manually
- Total Effort: 500 hours to fully test a 1,000 page site
- Total Cost: $25,000 at $50 per hour
SortSite tests the same site in under 5 minutes for a small fraction of the cost of testing everything manually. This lets teams focus manual testing on areas that require human judgement.
System Requirements
System requirements for the Desktop Suite are:
- Windows (7, 8, 10) or Macintosh (macOS 10.12 or later)
- 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)
The suite is also available as a web application running in the cloud, which works on any device.
