Cross Browser Testing: A Challenge for Web Testing
Keywords:
Browser, Testing, Web application, VersionsAbstract
Today’s world is around internet. To access internet we need a browser. Browsers also have variety and versions. For successful browsing we need compatibility among browsers. Web based applications need to test before deploying. A web application is known as successful when it is executed on all the variety and versions of browsers. For this, web applications should be tested on all types of browsers. This type of testing is known as cross browser testing. Cross browser testing is very important issue as different browsers has its own specification and separate architecture. Today’s three most popular browsers are Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. 90% of web testing is performed using these three browsers. Safari also coming close fourth browser. Of course testing only few browsers (Three or Four) is not only the solution of web testing. To cover all web browsers under testing, cross browser testing is very important.
