The amount of tools used by software testing company employees is impressively big. They help to execute different types of website testing, as well as the others. And the diversity of tools for cross-browser testing could even puzzle the non-experienced tester.

The choice of cross–browser testing tools depends on the goals and abilities of the tester. For example, some tools are available for free in the Internet, others need rather expensive licenses. Some are perfect for one exact task, others are not so good but support many browsers.

What Are the Main Tools for Cross-Browser Testing?
