Cross-Browser Compatibility Testing
Cross-Browser Compatibility Testing is the process of verifying that a web application functions and displays correctly across different web browsers, browser versions, devices, and operating systems. The goal is to identify inconsistencies in rendering, JavaScript behavior, layout, performance, or user interactions caused by differences in browser engines and platform support. It is commonly performed using a combination of automated tests, manual validation, and browser emulation or real-device testing.
