What tools are you using to test cross browser?

I'm curious what tools people are using to help them test cross browsers. Have looked into BrowserStack and VMs, but not super pleased with either of those solutions.

    Browserstack is something that I can highly recommend, it covers all devices + versions and even a neat vm around it.

      Do you ever find latency issues with Browserstack? Trying to debug in that environment at times has been a nightmare, but I do like the breadth of devices/version it supports; much easier than setting up VMs.

        Not really.

        The only issue, if any, that I've encountered is the slow FPS response whilst testing a site within browserstack.

    I use tools like gulp (with autoprefixer) and babel to avoid the need for checking every browser out there as much as possible, and test with a chromium powered browser, firefox and a Webkit browser. I have VMs for edge case scenarios that are specific to safari and IE11.

    I charge double for supporting IE11, so that usually solves that problem.

      IE11 has been a pain for sure. Charging double would be a nice solution :)

        A person can dream.
