EERE Communication Standards & Guidelines

Quality Assurance

Once a site is coded, it has one more step to go through before it can go live: the Quality Assurance (QA) check. During a Quality Assurance check, an HTML developer—one that didn't code the original site—goes over the code on a newly created or redesigned website. This developer uses the following checklists to make sure that the content meets all of EERE's Web standards.

QA Checklist for OpenText Sites

Use this QA Checklist for sites that are in-template and hosted in the OpenText Content Management System.

QA Checklist for In-Template Sites

Use this QA Checklist for sites that are in-template but are hosted on any other EERE server.

QA Checklist for Partnership Sites

Use this QA Checklist for sites that are not in the EERE template.

Multimedia QA Checklist

Use this QA Checklist to check whether video, audio, and animation files meet EERE's requirements.
