Browser Tests, Services and Compatibility Test Suites
Cross-browser compatibility is still one of the most complex issues when it comes to web-development.
Web standards usually guarantee a (relatively) high degree of consistency, however no browser is perfect and particularly older browsers have always been quite good at surprising web-developers with their creative understanding of (X)HTML/CSS-code. Still you need to make sure that (at least) most visitors of your web-site can use it, navigate through it and find what they’re looking for as quickly as possible.
Browsers Tests Are Necessary
The truth is that
a) you never know who might type in your url in his/her navigation toolbar and
b) the browser-environment is still very quirky and the risk of inconsistent presentation is simply too high to ignore it. For instance, different browsers and operating systems use different techniques for rendering fonts (Win vs. Mac on handling fonts). The font size isn’t identical on different platforms and some fonts might not be installed on the user’s system.
