Introduction
In the last few decades, the internet has seen tremendous growth; internet users are increasing each day, which has increased the demand for websites. Every stunning website has the support of rigorous testing behind it. But, testing different web applications is not as easy as it may sound. Things that work perfectly fine in one browser might not be fit for the other. It becomes quite challenging for the teams to keep up with this issue. Hence, investing in cross-browser compatibility testing becomes a necessity. Cross-browser testing has so far been quite an ordeal for all the front-end developers and testers on earth. The underlying cause of the problem certainly is the browser fragmentation issue, and to resolve it cross-browser compatibility testing seems like the only possible solution.
Cross-Browser Compatibility
In simple terms, Cross-browser Compatibility mainly focuses on ensuring that the basic features of your website are compatible with different operating systems, devices, browsers, and browser-OS combinations. There are many browsers in the market, but the popular ones like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and UC browser, capture the maximum market share. Compatibility is an ever-prevailing issue in the software world. Cross-browser testing plays a critical role in easing the situation; however, it is not an end to the problem. Testing compatibility ensures that your websites and web apps work well on the maximum number of web browsers.
