Build a cross-browser test matrix
Builds a small browser and device test matrix from your own visitor data and decides which combinations get manual or automated checks.
Task:
Build a cross-browser test matrix of at most ten rows for my website from the visitor figures below.
Context:
The site is [site description]. Our critical flows are [critical flows]. We can spend [hours per release] hours on browser checks per release.
Rules:
- Rank browser, operating system and device combinations by share of visitors and by risk, and show both in the table.
- Mark each row as automated, manual each release, or spot check quarterly.
- Fit the total manual time inside my hours per release and show the sum.
- If the visitor figures are incomplete, list which numbers you need instead of guessing shares.
Result:
A table with the columns browser and version range, system or device, visitor share, check type and flows covered. Below the table, one sentence on the first combination to drop if time gets cut.
