Device and Browser Compatibility Testing

Device compatibility testing checks and validates that your application behaves as expected across the different types of hardware and browsers that your customers use to access your application, such as:

• Desktops
• Mobiles
• Tablets
• Browsers
• Operating systems
• Hardware configurations
• Network capabilities

Types of compatibility issues you might encounter when testing your solution:

• Different hardware configurations per device or desktop (i.e. Using a separate monitor on desktop, USB devices)
• Various operating systems such as Windows 10/8 or MacBook
• Software variations can differ per device and browser. There may be some additional applications on the device that are not on all that affect the UI feel of the website, or application
• Networks. It is key to validate the 3G, 4G, 5G, WIFI connectivity
• Browser variations are key to ensuring the website, or application is compatible with all browsers that are in scope

The increasing use of various devices presents unique compatibility testing challenges addressed by using best practice supported by a range of devices located in our test labs.

Our approach to compatibility testing uses structured exploratory testing – rather than a traditional scripted approach – to provide a more reactive and flexible method to testing, focusing on providing you with valuable feedback as early in the project as possible. We hold a diverse range of hardware and operating systems in our device labs, ensuring the right level of coverage.
