How to test a PWA before release
Open your deployed app in the browser you support. Inspect the manifest and service worker in developer tools. Check that the manifest starts the right route and that icon files load. Install the app, launch it from its icon, then switch offline and reload a route to see whether the expected fallback appears.
Track checks by browser
Mark a checklist item only after observing its result, then use Export as text to save a QA record. Install menus and criteria vary across browsers. Use the browser compatibility checker to identify features that need separate testing, and the favicon generator to prepare icon assets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this checklist scan a website automatically?
It is a manual checklist. It stores progress in your browser and exports a text checklist for your release notes.
Can a service worker alone make the app work offline?
The service worker needs a caching or fallback strategy. Test the installed app with the network disabled to confirm what a visitor can open.
