But thanks to all Cross-browser Test tools available online which help in minimizing the testing efforts. I’ve written this post focusing mainly on Software Testers and Designers for knowing various methods for browser testing. There are many free and paid browser test tools available in the market. You need to select the browser compatibility test tool depending on your needs. If cross-browser testing is a critical part of your web project then you must allocate some considerable time, resources and budget for testing your website on different web browsers. The premium browser testing tools can be a good option for projects having browser-dependent functionality. Interactively test and debug on live remote devices, view your website on multiple browsers at once by taking automated, or run automated using Selenium, Appium, or your other favorite frameworks.

In fact many of the tools that appear on googling “cross browser testing tools” don’t appear here. Reply Arpita June 10, 2016 at 6:31 am Thanks for the info. Indeed its helpful!! Reply Nihal September 1, 2016 at 2:14 pm Good info. Browserstack is another popular paid tool we use at our workplace. There are many client components that can yield different results based on the web browser they are run in, such as Applets, JavaScript, Flash, AJAX requests, and the list goes on. For anyone who desires to have a professional looking website or application, Cross Browser Testing is essential.

It doesn’t include the latest versions of the browsers. For example, it only includes Safari 9.1. The current version for Safari is 13.0.5. I think several others on the list are also out of date — the screenshots look very old. Have you actually visited all these websites to make sure they are still functioning and up-to-date for this January 2020 update.

Many of the screenshots in this 2020 update show these testers are testing obsolete browser versions and obsolete platform versions such as Windows 7, Windows XP, Safari 3 or Safari 5, defunct Internet Explorer, and none indicate which versions of Mac OS X the browsers are running on.

Reply Bhavya Maingi September 12, 2020 at 6:58 pm thanks for briefing the key points and providing with the basic idea. Testing is the key to accelerate the release process and a successful project. While working on several projects an unsuitable choice can lead to number of challenges. So, one must be way rational while choosing an automation tool. Every decision-making process produces an outcome that might be an action, a recommendation, or an opinion. So QA manager must be way rational while choosing an automation tool. You will absolutely love our tutorials on QA Testing, Development, Software Tools and Services Reviews and more. It is the process of verifying your application’s compatibility with different browsers. Many times, I have encountered an issue with a website and on calling the technical support, they simply tell me to try it in another browser.

When I do, it works and I end up feeling like a total idiot, even though I earn my living working in the software industry. I bet this has happened to all of you, hasn’t it. What You Will Learn: Introduction What is Cross Browser Testing. Why Is It Performed. Who Performs This Testing. How to Perform Cross Browser Testing. What to Test? To summarize “how” to cross-browser test When is the best time to do this. Conclusion Recommended Reading Introduction We all might have observed that some websites are not properly displayed on some browsers and we just think that the website is broken. But, as soon as you open it on a different browser, the website opens up just fine. Thus this behavior explains the compatibility of a website with different browsers. Each browser interprets the information on the website page differently. Thus, some browsers may lack the features that your website is trying to show and make your website look broken on that browser. For Example, as shown below, the errors of the signup forms are not the same on both the browsers. Also, the text color, font etc., are also different if you take a look at them closely. With the advancement in technology, there are several options available for browsers, and it’s not just enough to make a website work on one of the browsers. Users should not be restricted to use any specific browser to access your application. Thus, it becomes necessary to test your website’s compatibility with different browsers. Some of the commonly used browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer etc. As is a general practice at STH, we are going to focus on the basics. We believe that any concept will make a world of sense when we ask the basic question words around like- “What, why, how, who, when, where”. Let us do just that as we go. You might wonder at this point, “Aren’t all applications customer-facing?” Well, yes. They are. However, let us look at an example.
On the other hand, if all computers internal to the company use Windows 8 machines with Chrome browser- then there is no need to look or test for anything else with respect to Application 1. Why Is It Performed. For that matter, why is any kind of testing done. To know what is wrong and be able to fix it. To enhance efficiency and user experience and thereby, business. The functionality and the working of it. (Of course!) Who Performs This Testing. The client, business analysis team and the marketing teams have a major role in this decision. The entire project team should have an invested interest, time, money and infrastructure to support this endeavor. The QA team can be involved in this process or it might be the design team who are keen on knowing how the application fares in multiple browsers. Whether it is performed by QA or any other team- the results are interpreted by the design and development teams and the relevant changes are made. Now we are talking! First things first- is it done manually or using a tool. It can surely be done manually- multiple machines, multiple OSs, Multiple browsers, multiple machines and but clearly, this leads to multiple problems, multiple investments and multiple challenges. Manual Method In this case, a business identifies the browsers that the application must support. Testers then re-run the same test cases using different browsers and observe the application’s behavior and report bugs if any. In this type of testing, it is not possible to cover many browsers and also, the application might not be tested on major browser versions. Also, performing cross-browser check manually is costly and time-consuming too. Automated Method Cross-browser testing is basically running the same set of test cases multiple times on different browsers. This type of repeated task is best suited for automation. Thus, it’s more cost and time effective to perform this testing by using tools.
So, lots of tools are available in the market to make this easier. The tools help us with one or more or all of the following depending on the tool itself and the licensing types: They provide a VPN (Virtual Private machine) using which you can connect to remote machines and check the working and rendition of your JAVA, AJAX, HTML, Flash and other pages. Most of these are secure, but since you are submitting your information to a third party, a certain analysis on discretion is advised. Screenshots are provided for the pages and links submitted of how they appear in multiple browsers. This is, of course, static. Multiple browsers are synchronized with respect to operations performed on one and the results are presented browser wise. Show the rendition of a page at multiple screen resolutions When a problem is encountered, a video or screenshots are recorded to transport the problem for further analysis. The time to start Cross-Browser test completely depends on your testing methodology and your testing timeline. Test that page on each browser. When the next page is available, test that also on multiple browsers. This will increase the efforts, but it will help to fix the errors as early as possible in the life-cycle. This will test the application as a whole on different browsers. But it’s better to do it than to not do it and let the end-users have a bad experience. After the application is released for the end-users, this testing can be performed and bugs can be fixed as a part of the change requests in the application. This is very costly and requires multiple deployments depending on the bug fixes. Rigorous cross-browser testing can only be done when the testing team members who have knowledge of tools do this testing. High level or checking some specific browsers can also be done by business users or even developers. This testing involves testing the application thoroughly using different browsers.
cuakeobinhduong.com/upload/files/928-manual-conversion.pdf
Testing thoroughly includes functional and non-functional testing of the application. In most of the companies, a product team has separate teams for functional and non-functional testing. Thus, this testing needs to be performed by the team(s) who is (are) responsible for functional and non-functional testing of the application. For this testing, a tester needs the browsers on which the application needs to be tested. These browsers can either be provided to the tester as: Locally installed on tester’s machine. A virtual machine or different machines which a tester has access to. Tools which provide their own browsers and their versions for testing. This testing is independent of the deployment environments. Thus, it can be done in dev, test, QA or even production environment depending upon the availability of the application in each of these environments. What to Test? Base Functionality: Links, dialogs, menus etc. Graphical User Interface: Look and feel of the application. Response: How well the application responds to user actions. Performance: Loading of the pages within allowed the time frame. If your application works well on one browser, that doesn’t imply that it will work well on the other browsers too. Thus, this testing helps you to ensure that an application runs on different browsers without any errors. To identify what breaks on which browser and to fix the website accordingly we need to perform this testing. If a browser is not at all supported, then the users can easily be informed about it. It is advisable that all of it be tested on multiple browsers, but again costs and time have to be considered. Again, the cost has to be considered. The regular functional testing test cases can be used when validating the efficiency of the system. The operation I was talking about at the beginning of this article that failed for me was an online bank transfer.
I logged into my bank account, chose the amount for transfer as about one lakh and tried to perform the transfer and a servlet error was showing up no matter how many times I tried. So if the transfer operation is chosen for browser compatibility testing, this is how the test script is going to look like. Log in to the online bank account Select the account from which the transfer is to be done Enter the transfer amount: 100,000 Select payee and click “Transfer” Expected result: The transfer should be successful This will simply be run on all the browsers chosen. Again, please note that this does not look different to a functional test case. Change follows. When is the best time to do this. Any testing reaps the best benefits when it is done early on. Therefore, the industry recommendation is to start with it as soon as the page designs are available. But it also can be performed when the site is fully integrated and functional. If you have missed the bus on performing the cross-browser test during design, development and QA phases, it can still be done while the application is in production. However, this is the costliest of all and risky too. Where is browser compatibility testing performed. But for cross-browser checking, this is not a definite and irrelevant (if I may say so). It can be done in any one or all of them. I think it is neither and both. It also should not be confused with Cross-Platform testing, which is testing your application in multiple target environments like Windows, Linux, Mac etc. Although sometimes the two have to integrate together as some of the older browser versions might be compatible only with the older versions of the platforms. It is also a continues to process as software environments, browsers and devices are evolving every day and to make sure there are no unpleasant surprises, this browser Testing should be added to the repertoire of regression suites.
As you know, each and every type of testing helps in improving the quality of the application and so does the cross-browser test too. Cross-browser testing helps in creating a good impression on the users by providing them a consistent experience throughout the application irrespective of the browser or Operating system. Fixing bugs is cost-effective during the early stages of the development lifecycle, and the same applies to the defects found as a part of this testing too. This testing helps in improving your business which in turn results in Happy Customers, Happy You!! This is yet another testament to the concept that QA field or software testing is a multi-dimensional field and there is something for everyone to excel in.

But following statement needs further enhancement. “Cross browser testing is simply what its name means- that is, to test your website or application in multiple browsers” Cross browser testing: testing your application on different version of same browser. i.e IE6, IE7 etc. Multi browser testing: Testing your application on multiple browser i.e Firefox, Chrome, IE etc.
Let me know what others have to say on it. Thank you for posting your question. We will surely publish an article on that.

I think what’s important is whether the content renders properly e.g. will the text be bounded or will it go right across the page. This applies to all the elements including modals. As you probably know, different browsers and version would render the element differently. I find requirements or story support testing cross browser but mostly ad hoc testing is required or even exploratory testing. Need Some Help on Amazon S3 Browser. Could Some one Post that Reply Jitin Mishra January 21, 2020 at 5:54 am Thanks for sharing this helpful stuff we need this information while doing crass browser testing Reply Leave a Comment Cancel reply Comment Name Email About SoftwareTestingHelp Helping our community since 2006. As a web developer, it is your responsibility to make sure that not only do your projects work, but they work for all your users, no matter what browser, device, or additional assistive tools they are using. You need to think about: It is potentially OK for a site to not deliver the exact same experience on all browsers, as long as the core functionality is accessible in some way. On modern browsers you might get something animated, 3D and shiny, whereas on older browsers you might just get a flat graphic representing the same information. As long as the site owner is happy with this, then you have done your job. You can make some informed calls as to what browsers and devices your users will be using (as we'll discuss in the second article in the series — see Gotta test 'em all? ), but you can't guarantee everything.
As a web developer, you need to agree on a range of browsers and devices that the code definitely needs to work on with the site owner, but beyond that, you need to code defensively to give other browsers the best chance possible of being able to use your content. This is one of the great challenges of web development. Before you even get to cross browser issues, you should have already fixed out bugs in your code (see Debugging HTML, Debugging CSS, and What went wrong. Troubleshooting JavaScript from previous topics to refresh your memory if needed). This situation is a lot less bad than it used to be; back when IE4 and Netscape 4 were competing to be the dominant browser in the 1990s, browser companies deliberately implemented things differently to each other to try to gain competitive advantage, which made life hell for developers. Browsers are much better at following standards these days, but differences and bugs still creep through sometimes. This is inevitable when you are dealing with bleeding edge features that browsers are just getting round to implementing, or if you have to support really old browsers that are no longer being developed, which may have been frozen (i.e. no more new work done on them) a long time before a new feature was even invented. As an example, if you want to use cutting edge JavaScript features in your site, they might not work in older browsers. If you need to support older browsers, you might have to not use those, or convert your code to old fashioned syntax using some kind of cross-compiler where needed. For example, if a site has been designed to look nice on a desktop PC, it will probably look tiny and be hard to read on a mobile device. If your site includes a load of big animations, it might be ok on a high spec tablet, but might be sluggish or jerky on a low end device.
