Cross-Browser Testing in 2017

Welcome to the modern world.  In the old days, when the proto-Mozilla roamed the Earth fighting Internet Explorer and other monsters, cross-browser, cross-platform testing was essential if your web application had any hope of serving your users.

In these days of well-debugged CSS it’s easy to get lazy and figure if you see it work, then it’s working.

However…

I just ran through a number of screens on http://www.linkedin.com – a well established company with uncountable global users, many important screens lacked a “submit” button in OS X Safari, which appear when one uses OS X Chrome.

Really?  Making your users go through all that data entry again because you don’t even know that your web forms are broken?

Sloppy.

I know you can do better.  Get with the program, people.
