Multi-device or cross-device testing is a type of testing that verifies if an application works across different browsers, screen sizes, resolutions and devices as expected. It is ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ your applicationโs compatibility with different browsers and devices and making sure that it works consistently and as intended without any dependencies, or compromise in quality. The goal is also to perform really complex ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ-๐๐ผ-๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ on multiple devices, independently of which action is realized.

Getting a complete QA environnement can become a timebomb.

Moreover, when running complex and large functional tests, it becomes ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ to maintain every test at scale. ๐ฐ
