Testing Efficiency Tips: Browser Cache, MySQL Visualization, JSON Viewer, and Cookie Tools
This guide shares practical testing shortcuts—including how to fully clear Chrome cache, use Navicat for reusable SQL queries, install JSON Viewer and EditThisCookie extensions, and other handy tricks—to boost overall testing efficiency and reduce manual effort.
Effective testing starts with mastering browser cache handling; in Chrome, open DevTools (F12), right‑click the refresh button and choose “Empty Cache and Hard Reload” for a deep cache clear, while F5 or Ctrl+R perform normal reloads that may use cached resources.
For MySQL work, Navicat’s visual query feature lets you name and reuse queries per module, and its “Find in Database” function quickly locates all tables containing a specific field, helping verify data changes across complex business logic.
To simplify JSON response inspection, install the Chrome extension JSON Viewer , which formats JSON directly in the browser without copying to external tools.
Managing cookies becomes easier with the EditThisCookie extension, allowing you to add, delete, edit, search, lock, and block cookies directly within Chrome.
Continuously summarizing and applying such tools and shortcuts can significantly improve testing efficiency, reduce repetitive manual work, and make the testing process smoother.
