CrossBrowserTesting is a platform as a service (PaaS) that enables users to automate their website or web application testing on real desktop and mobile browsers. The cloud-based testing platform maintains an in-house testing infrastructure that provides remote access to thousands of different operating systems (MacOS, Windows, Ubuntu), browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer, etc.), and mobile devices like iOS and Android. Testers and developers can run Selenium, Appium, unit, visual or manual tests without having to install or purchase VMs, simulators, or real mobile devices.
CrossBrowserTesting was co-founded by Ken Kamric, Tony Colston, and Mike Bowen in 2008 and acquired by SmartBear Software in 2016, operating as a standalone business at the headquarters located in Germantown, Tennessee.
