TestCulture Episode 18 - Leverage multi-device testing

- ? Multi-device or cross-device testing is a type of testing that verifies if an application works across different browsers, screen sizes, resolutions and devices as expected. It is your applications compatibility with different browsers and devices and making sure that it works consistently and as intended without any dependencies, or compromise in quality. The goal is also to perform really complex -- on multiple devices, independently of which action is realized.

. Multi device testing implies more devices and testers to properly test all devices. Bugs and risks tend to be on multiple devices testing. Moreover, setting up cross-platform tests with traditional tools is .

. Multi-device testing involves the use of multiple tools to test complex user paths. Sometimes, one tool can be used per technology and device which exponentially increases the cost to test (maintenance, training, creation and analysis).
Getting a complete QA environnement can become a timebomb.

. Manual validation is often made by developers or project managers. Validation activities then take too much time compared to development activities.
Moreover, when running complex and large functional tests, it becomes to maintain every test at scale.
