    Websites and Apps are 2 different things altogether.  If you are testing a website, use a browser.  As Nancy eluded to, if your code is up to date and clear of errors you should be in the clear. I can't think of any instances where you would even still run into IE8 or earlier which used to cause issues.

     

    For app development, use your app developer tools like Xcode.  There is no need to test a browser because Apps work with in their OS and not a browser so you need to be able to test that functionality.

    You know, you know.  OK.  Can you please elaborate on what you DON'T know?  Or what are you attempting to do that you can't do now?  If applicable, please provide examples.

     

     


    Exactly. If you are looking for free tools using the actual browsers or tools like XCode that emulate devices will be needed.  But we don't have the first clue what you are trying to test or where you are running into issues.  Is this a web app or a mobile app? Is this tied to a specific device/platform?  Most I can say is that is to go through a grid like G2 ( https://www.g2.com/categories/automation-testing#grid )and look through all of the testing apps on the market.  Some may have free or limited testing versions that may be enough for you, but as you can see without knowing specifics there are a lot of options.

    I have no idea what that means. 

     

    Error free code combined with modern web standards is cross-browser friendly.  No special apps required.

     

    See below:

    If your site is not performing well on all modern browsers, validate code and fix your errors.
