You should test content, images, and other text to make sure that all text is accurate and complete and that it follows editorial guidelines.

Suggested tasks for testing

• Test every procedure for accuracy. If you are writing help for a program, make sure all the terminology you use in your topics matches that used in the user interface.
• Make sure that all topics follow any editorial guidelines you have set up.
• Access all secondary help text or information attached to your program. Are error messages understandable and easy to read? Is the information provided in dialog boxes accurate and clear?
