1) Different Browser-OS combinations i.e., on prominent browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari—on any of the prominent operating systems like Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

2) Different devices i.e., users can look and interact with your website on prominent devices—smartphones, tablets, desktops, and laptops, etc.

3) Assistive Tools i.e., the website is consistent with assistive technologies like screen readers for individuals who are otherwise allowed.

It’s about shipping releases that are as browser-agnostic as feasible, which is crucial to delivering a consistent user experience on an eclectic, ever-growing spectrum of browsers/devices.

Imagine that you’re attempting to access a site that has 3D graphics on it. You open Safari, type the required URL, press Enter, and wait for it to load. When it does, none of the GIFs/or videos are loading. Buttons and text are all over the page scattered. You check your connectivity and reload, only to see a similar screen.

In the end, you’ll likely do one of 2 things– speculate that the site has a problem and leave to return later, or assume that the site is damaged and leave to discover an alternative.

Browser vendors obey Open Web Standards, but they have their understandings of it. Since they each render HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in distinctive ways, completely debugging your website’s source code is not sufficient to assure that your website will look and function as planned on various browsers (or various versions of a single browser).So it falls to web developers to outline browser differences. Cross-browser testing enables that by identifying browser-specific compatibility mistakes so you can debug them promptly. It helps assure that you’re not alienating a crucial percentage of your target audience– simply because your website does not function on their browser OS.

The sheer number of browsers, devices, and operating systems out there make it absurd to create for and test on every browser-OS combination that may exist. A more logical objective is to concentrate your testing efforts towards maximizing your website’s reach within your target market. To achieve this, you’ll require to lock down the most significant browsers and versions:

The short explanation: Anyone who designs/develops for the Open Web.You don’t have to understand coding to make usage of interactive cross-browser testing tools. BrowserStack Live, for example, is furthermore utilized by marketers and web designers, who are promptly testing landing pages/new designs for cross-browser rendering and responsiveness.

Normally, QA teams accomplish test scenarios on numerous browsers to make sure the build meets browser compatibility benchmarks. UI teams drive cross-browser tests to discover how the website front-end fares on various devices and orientations.

Let’s rapidly recap the 7 broad steps that are involved in cross-browser testing:

Let’s be candid —if all browser dealers followed open web standards uniformly, cross-browser compatibility testing won’t be required at all. But we live in a world where browsers strive for market share. Tritan Solutions delivers an end-user experience that’s always delightful across a multitude of web browsers and devices.
