How to test every content type/post type after migration?

Understand the Content/Post Types: Familiarize yourself with the different content types or post types present in the system. This includes understanding their specific characteristics, fields, and dependencies.
Create a Test Plan: Develop a comprehensive test plan that covers all the system's content types or post types. The plan should outline each content type's specific scenarios, test cases, and data sets.
Test Data Migration: Ensure that the data migration process has successfully transferred all the content or posts from the source to the target system. Verify that the content or posts have been accurately migrated, including all associated metadata and dependencies.
Verify Content Structure: For each content type, check the structure and integrity of the migrated data. Ensure all fields, tags, categories, relationships, and other relevant attributes are preserved correctly.
Test Content Creation: Create new content or posts for each content type in the migrated system. Verify that the creation process works as expected, including the ability to add all necessary information and save it appropriately.
Test Content Editing: Modify and update existing content or posts for each content type. Validate that the editing functionality functions properly, including the ability to modify fields, update relationships, and save changes without any data loss or corruption.
Test Content Display: Check the front-end or user interface displaying the content or posts. Ensure that the content is rendered correctly, with all relevant fields, formatting, images, and other associated elements appearing as intended.
Test Content Relationships: If content types have relationships or dependencies, test the integrity and functionality of these relationships. For example, if there is a "related posts" field, ensure that the related content is displayed correctly and that the relationship is maintained after migration.
Test Content Filtering and Sorting: If the system allows filtering or sorting of content based on specific criteria, perform tests to verify that the functionality works accurately for each content type. Test different filters and sorting options to ensure the expected results are returned.
Perform Cross-Browser and Cross-Device Testing: Test the migrated system and the display of content types on different web browsers and devices. Verify that the content appears and functions correctly across various platforms and screen sizes.
Report and Document Issues: Document any issues, anomalies, or discrepancies encountered during testing. Include detailed information about the problem, steps to reproduce it, and any relevant screenshots or logs.
Prioritize and Resolve Issues: Prioritize the identified issues based on their severity and impact on the system's functionality. Collaborate with the development or migration team to address and resolve the issues in a timely manner.
Retest Fixed Issues: Once the issues are resolved, retest the affected content types to ensure that the fixes have been implemented successfully and that the content behaves as expected.
