What is Cross Browser Testing?

Cross Browser Testing is a type of functional test to check that your web application works as expected in different browsers.

Why do we need Cross Browser Testing?

Web-based applications are totally different from Windows applications. A web application can be opened in any browser by the end user. For example, some people prefer to open http://twitter.cominFirefox browser, while other‘s can be using Chrome browser or IE.

In the diagram below you can observe that in IE, the login box of Twitter is not showing curve at all corners, but we are able to see it in Chrome browser.

 

So we need to ensure that the web application will work as expected in all popular browsers so that more people can access it and use it.

This motive can be fulfilled with Cross Browser Testing of the product.

Reason Cross Browser Issues

1. Font size mismatch in different browsers.
2. JavaScript implementation can be different.
3. CSS,HTML validation difference can be there.
4. Some browser still not supporting HTML5.
5. Page alignment and div size.
6. Image orientation.
7. Browser incompatibility with OS. Etc.

How to perform Cross Browser Testing

If we are using Selenium WebDriver, we can automate test cases using Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome, Safari browsers.

To execute test cases with different browsers in the same machine at the same time we can integrateTestng framework with Selenium WebDriver.

Your testing.xml will look like that,

This testing.xml will map with the Test Case which will look like that

Here because the testing.xml has two Test tags (‘ChromeTest‘,‘FirefoxTest‘),this test case will execute two times for 2 different browsers.

First Test ‘ChromeTest‘ will pass the value of parameter ‘browser‘ as ‘chrome‘ so ChromeDriver will be executed. This test case will run on Chrome browser.

Second Test ‘FirefoxTest‘ will pass the value of parameter ‘browser‘ as ‘Firefox‘ so FirefoxDriver will be executed. This test case will run on FireFox browser.

Complete Code:

testing.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd"><suite name="TestSuite" thread-count="2" parallel="tests" ><test name="ChromeTest"><parameter name="browser" value="Chrome" /><classes><class name="parallelTest.CrossBrowserScript"></class></classes></test><test name="FirefoxTest"><parameter name="browser" value="Firefox" /><classes><class name="parallelTest.CrossBrowserScript"></class></classes></test><test name="EdgeTest"><parameter name="browser" value="Edge" /><classes><class name="parallelTest.CrossBrowserScript"></class></classes></test></suite>

NOTE: To run the test, Right click on the testing.xml, Select Run As, and Click TestNG

Summary

1. Cross browser Testing is a technique to test web application with different web browsers.
2. Selenium can support different type of browsers for automation.
3. Selenium can be integrated with TestNG to perform Multi Browser Testing.
4. From parameters in testing.xml we can pass browser name, and in a test case, we can create WebDriver reference accordingly.

Note: The given program was built & tested on selenium 3.0.1, Chrome 56.0.2924.87 , Firefox 47.0.2 & Microsoft Edge 14.14393. If the programs give an error, please update the driver
