Your website looks great and utilizes rich-media features designed to engage your audience. But are you certain your site looks good and performs consistently across all of today’s popular browsers?
With Internet Explorer’s dominance waning and Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome and a host of others catching up fast, managing browser diversity is becoming increasingly challenging. Plus there are multiple versions of each browser in use, underscoring a fact of life for website designers, web application developers, and your entire IT department: web pages can look and perform differently from one browser to another.
This issue goes beyond simply how a page renders. The new generation of browsers heralds a major change in the way browsers operate, with increasing client-side processing. Failing to stay ahead of these changes means lost customers and conversions.

Better cross-browser testing to improve end-user problem identification webinar
Modern web applications are typically comprised of code and content coming from numerous parties, only one of which is the company whose logo and brand are displayed prominently on the page. This mosaic of content and services that comes together in the browser relies far more on local processing than ever before. With today’s multitude of browser types, computer operating systems, and versions, there is a real need to ensure that web applications work well for all end-users. No longer is it adequate just to make sure things work well for IE 6 users on Windows XP. Now you have to make sure things look right and work for users of Safari, Firefox, Opera, and mobile devices, such as the iPhone. In addition, new operating systems such as Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard add an additional dimension to the compatibility testing matrix for Websites. Gomez’s new cross-browser testing product, Reality View XF, helps you test from the perspective of all of your customers at the same time.
Listen to this recorded webinar to learn how you can improve cross browser testing in your company.
