conducting-browser-compatibility-tests
This skill enables cross-browser compatibility testing for web applications using BrowserStack, Selenium Grid, or Playwright. It tests across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, identifying browser-specific bugs and ensuring consistent functionality. It is used when a user requests to "test browser compatibility", "run cross-browser tests", or uses the `/browser-test` or `/bt` command to assess web application behavior across different browsers and devices. The skill generates a report detailing compatibility issues and screenshots for visual verification. Activates when you request "conducting browser compatibility tests" functionality.
Best use case
conducting-browser-compatibility-tests is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

## Overview This skill automates cross-browser compatibility testing, ensuring that web applications function correctly across various browsers and devices. It leverages BrowserStack, Selenium Grid, and Playwright to execute tests and identify browser-specific issues. ## How It Works 1. **Configuring Browser Matrix**: Defines the target browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), versions, operating systems, and device configurations for testing. 2. **Generating Cross-Browser Tests**: Creates and configures tests to run across the defined browser matrix, handling browser-specific quirks and setting up parallel execution for efficiency. 3. **Executing Tests**: Runs the tests in parallel using BrowserStack, Selenium Grid, or Playwright, capturing screenshots and logs for analysis. 4. **Generating Compatibility Report**: Compiles a detailed report highlighting any compatibility issues, including screenshots and error logs, for easy identification and resolution. ## When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: - Ensure a web application functions correctly across different browsers and devices. - Identify browser-specific bugs or compatibility issues. - Automate cross-browser testing as part of a CI/CD pipeline. ## Examples ### Example 1: Testing a new feature User request: "Test browser compatibility for the new shopping cart feature." The skill will: 1. Configure the browser matrix with the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. 2. Execute tests specifically targeting the shopping cart functionality across the configured browsers. 3. Generate a report highlighting any compatibility issues encountered with the shopping cart feature, including screenshots. ### Example 2: Regression testing after an update User request: "/bt" The skill will: 1. Use the default browser matrix (or a previously defined configuration). 2. Run all existing tests across the configured browsers and devices. 3. Provide a comprehensive report detailing any regressions or new compatibility issues introduced by the recent update. ## Best Practices - **Configuration**: Clearly define the target browser matrix to ensure comprehensive testing. - **Test Design**: Write tests that are robust and cover a wide range of user interactions. - **Report Analysis**: Carefully analyze the generated reports to identify and address compatibility issues promptly. ## Integration This skill can be integrated into a CI/CD pipeline using other tools to automate cross-browser testing as part of the deployment process. It can also work with issue tracking systems to automatically create tickets for identified compatibility bugs.
Related Skills
generating-unit-tests
This skill enables Claude to automatically generate comprehensive unit tests from source code. It is triggered when the user requests unit tests, test cases, or test suites for specific files or code snippets. The skill supports multiple testing frameworks including Jest, pytest, JUnit, and others, intelligently detecting the appropriate framework or using one specified by the user. Use this skill when the user asks to "generate tests", "create unit tests", or uses the shortcut "gut" followed by a file path.
managing-snapshot-tests
This skill enables Claude to manage and update snapshot tests using intelligent diff analysis and selective updates. It is triggered when the user asks to analyze snapshot failures, update snapshots, or manage snapshot tests in general. It helps distinguish intentional changes from regressions, selectively update snapshots, and validate snapshot integrity. Use this when the user mentions "snapshot tests", "update snapshots", "snapshot failures", or requests to run "/snapshot-manager" or "/sm". It supports Jest, Vitest, Playwright, and Storybook frameworks.
running-smoke-tests
This skill runs smoke tests to verify critical application functionality. It executes pre-defined test suites that check system health, authentication, core features, and external integrations. Use this skill after deployments, upgrades, or significant configuration changes to ensure the application is operational. Trigger this skill using the terms "smoke test" or "st".
running-load-tests
Create and execute load tests for performance validation using k6, JMeter, and Artillery. Use when validating application performance under load conditions or identifying bottlenecks. Trigger with phrases like "run load test", "create stress test", or "validate performance under load".
tracking-regression-tests
This skill enables Claude to track and run regression tests, ensuring new changes don't break existing functionality. It is triggered when the user asks to "track regression", "run regression tests", or uses the shortcut "reg".
