CrossBrowserTesting was used to test our UIs by running manual, visual, and Selenium Tests in the cloud. We relied on the results of this tool to see the compatibility of our interfaces, especially in mobile screens, and also continuously test with CI/CD integrations.
  • Test Continuously With CI/CD Integrations.
  • Selenium and Appium test automation.
  • Generate multiple screenshots of the same interface from different devices, operating systems, and browsers at once.
  • Run visual comparisons of the same web page on the same browser or mobile device from a previous test session.
  • Show layout differences.
  • Relatively slow.
  • Expensive.
CrossBrowserTesting was implemented to ensure our website's functionality and design and includes testing a range of devices and operating systems being used in the market and customer base.
  • Automate visual testing for a pixel perfect rendering on every screen.
  • Compare screenshots across browsers.
  • Automatically share test results with stakeholders.
  • By using CrossBrowserTesting we are saving many hours a week in manual work hours.
  • Our automated Selenium tests run in a fraction of the time it takes to manually test our components, so we can spend more time building great user experiences and less time triaging bugs.

We use CrossBrowserTesting to do exactly what its name says - cross-browser testing of our website across multiple browsers, versions of browsers, operating systems, screen resolutions, and mobile devices. It allows us to do both regression testing as well as integration smoke tests. We particularly like the ability to do interactive tests for new features.

  • Mobile devices
  • Regression tests
  • API automation
  • Integration with GitHub Actions
It's excellent for manual testing, developer validation, and QA servers. We also find it's helpful for reproducing bugs in production, particularly when it's done by a user who has a different operating system. We also use it to quickly spin up interactive desktops to handle potentially harmful customer service requests that might attempt to install malware.
