Testing workflow
I'm trying to figure out the best workflow for testing devices and browsers- I know it differs from site to site, and project to project but I just wondered if anyone had any tips on how they make it a smoothish process.
And I'm not at the scope where I want to pay $20/month for a service like BrowserStack. I have a couple older iphones, a couple older galaxies, MacBook and two windows pcs, an iPad and a Samsung tablet. Different versions of their respective oS's.
But i dont have all the browsers on all of them. Since any browser on an iPhone or iPad uses safari engine that cuts down on a few, but testing Safari, Samsung internet, Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Edge (6 browsers) as the bare minimum on say 6-7 devices is lots to do.
Then if you catch a bug on one browser and one device then make changes to try to fix it, that bugs out on a browser I've already tested so have to retest, make decisions or find a workaround.
Just curious if anyone's found a good rhythm that works for them- like do you test all browsers on all devices, note all the changes, make one change at a time and retest each browser on every device after each change? What about browsers- do you count all chromium as one (like test on Chrome and if it works , you don't feel you need to test on Edge?)
The growth gets exponential

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
