Build Fail-Proof Tests in Any Browser with Selenium
What happens when you have thousands of tests that run beautifully in Chrome but many of them fail in Internet Explorer? Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common for testers and remains a major sore point for teams tasked with getting software to work in any browser. Kevin Berg highlights how access to cloud-based Selenium Grids makes it easier than ever to run functional test suites in every imaginable operating system and browser combination. The result is less time and hassle adapting testing suites to each individual browser. Join Kevin as he shares hands-on insight on ways to optimize your tests for cross browser functional testing. Learn why cross browser testing is important, why some browsers behave differently from others, implicit vs. explicit waits, error handling, and using page objects to write more consistent tests.
