Compatibility Testing by RedBerries

The scope of functional testing is broad, including anything from checking the application's underlying capabilities to assessing its user interface and overall experience. It covers a wide range of quality assurance topics, including smoke tests and performance testing.
Why Is Cross-Browser Compatibility Testing So Important for RedBerries?
Applications that run on the web rely heavily on this testing. There are a lot of web browsers out there these days, and they all handle HTML, CSS, and JavaScript slightly differently. The fact that various browsers display web page elements differently is nothing new to regular web users.
Browser popularity clearly differs among platforms; for example, what's popular on Android might not be on iOS, and vice versa for Windows and other operating systems. As an example, among the most popular browsers on Android are Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Dolphin; among the most popular on iOS are Safari, Chrome, Opera, Mercury, and Puffin. Windows users can choose from a variety of browsers, including the standard Internet Explorer, Maxthon, UC Browser, and Nokia Express....
