Mobile devices invade the world and how! Enterprise software sees itself catering to a variety of devices; smartphones, tablets and even the wearables, besides of course the PCs and laptops. A system meant for working on multiple devices with different operating systems needs to be tested with a completely different and comprehensive approach. Testing on real devices, emulators taking care of all different permutations and combinations of operating systems, browsers and devices is no mean feat in itself.

A website developed for multiple browsers is called a cross browser website and cross browser testing sets out to check how systems function on different client device browsers. The effects on the program logics and most importantly the UI/UX is very important and needs to be tested thoroughly.

Cloud based testing approaches are fresh and easy ways to test quickly and efficiently by virtually connecting devices and environments and bringing them into one centralized test center. BrowserStack promotes this idea of a virtual test center.

How BrowserStack Works

Multiple browser versions and browser fragmentation makes it practically impossible to get a reliable test coverage for websites. BrowserStack.com offers a browser-based virtualization service for cross browser testing by making use of Adobe Flash to provide a virtualized browser within the actual browser.

The real virtual browsers are available as a service over the cloud. The end users use BrowserStack resources without the need to install anything special.
