Cross-browser testing not only is one of the most common non-functional testing methods in the field of software testing, but also the testing method that requires large amounts of resources, in terms of hardware and time. Basically, based on Selenium Grid, Kubernetes and KEDA auto-scaler, a cross-browser testing platform can be quickly built. However, through our empirical study of this style of platform, we observed three significant problems in terms of its reliability and efficiency: the Health-Check problem, the Session-Queue problem, and the Cooldown problem. This paper suggests solutions to these problems. The experimental result shows a 2.27 times improvement in reliability and a decrease in execution time for 61.5%. Moreover, the overall execution time is also 54.2% less comparing with Selenium's Dynamic Grid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many users access web pages from different browsers looking for the same user experience in all of them. However, there are several causes that produce compatibility issues. Those defects affect functionalities and user interface components. In this paper we present a systematic literature review which aims to find and summarize existing techniques, tools and challenges related to cross-browser testing. According to the results, the most used technique is the visual analysis. However, there are still challenges to face. The most important challenge is the identification of dynamic components in the user interface. Cross-browser compatibility topics are getting importance according to an increment in published articles. Nevertheless, there are techniques that are not completely developed yet and do not fully support test automation practices.
